Unknown pranksters defaced the page with a message suggesting that Facebook ought to allow ordinary users to invest in the site in a "social way", rather than getting its financing from the banks. It's unclear how the hack took place, but weak password security by the team of minions maintaining the page is the most likely explanation.
