Byron Ng's Enemies: Mark Zuckerberg, Paris Hilton, JK Rowling

Vasanth Sridharan | March 26, 2008 12:28 PM

Byron_ng.jpgA Vancouver man named Byron Ng became the hottest name in social networking yesterday after he was able to bypass Facebook’s privacy settings and get to pictures that he wasn’t supposed to see – like Paris Hilton partying or her little brother drinking. Facebook closed the loophole yesterday.

Lucky find? Probably not. Last summer a Vancouver man named Byron Ng was the first to find an electronic version of most of the last Harry Potter book. The Vancouver Sun is reporting that they’re the same man, who has a day job as a computer technician. To find the book, Ng first tried GPS tracking the trucks carrying it, but eventually found it on a P2P service from an anonymous European source.

Byron Ng, we salute you! You keep us entertained, and you keep big media/big Internet on their toes. We look forward to reading about your next stunt -- as long as it doesn't involve us.

are you kidding me?
the facebook exploit has been all over blogs since the beginning of February. All he did was call the press and claim that he found it. OK.

And all he did to get the Harry Potter book was download the torrent along with hundreds of thousands of other people...

Is this some kind of joke?
The kid just craves attention.

He's getting it!
Mav said:
Anon... it says he was the first. That would mean he made it available to those hundreds of thousands.

Facebook exploit, same thing. He finds it, he makes it public. He's a computer tech with a day job who's not being malicious, just curious. Claiming the deeds really isn't much of a publicity stunt when you consider the shiat-storm these people can send at him.

This guy is a loser. Anyone who believes that he had the first harry potter is retarded. Who do you think uploaded it? No one? Magic? No. Someone uploaded the whole book to thousands of other people all over the whole world, otherwise he would not have been able to download it at all.

Don't idiots realize that for him to download it someone else had to have it first for him to download it from?

Also does no one care about the fact that what he did was illegal? It's like if I went online and downloaded some new metallica album and called the AP and told them. How well do you think that would go over with everyone?

In the land of the blind, the one eyed boy is king.

Just because a large portion of the population has a computer, doesn't mean they understand it or know how to use it.

I am always amazed at the "ooohs and aaaahs" I get when I show my buddies something I found on-line, but a lot of folks can just barely get their email, so doing research or hunting for information on hacking and cracking is light years beyond what a common user can manage. Heck, most folks can't download Pr0n without infecting their computer with hundreds of worms and viruses.

He isn't "cool" and he isn't a "looser", he is just a computer geek, with a very short last name.

I hope you're kidding.
i posted these exploits on my blog months before he called the press after reading them.. and i wasn't the only blog to post them.

Byron Ng is a troll.

he did the same thing once he found the harry potter torrent, he calls the press... oh and he's a 32 yr old nobody.

anon said:
Absolutely idiotic. Here I thought he was he the guy who posted those camera pics of every page. Nope, he's just some attention whore who found a torrent file of one of the many fake Harry Potter fanfics. Now I find out he didn't create this exploit either?

I suggest 2 FLV Converter for Mac software. One is powerful in download YouTube Videos and convert downloaded FLV files; the other is professional in video converting, which can not only convert .flv video to all media formats, but also can convert all kinds of video formats to .flv, plus popular videos.
