近日，脸书5000万用户的账户遭到攻击，而该社交网站的创始人马克·扎克伯格和他的两名高管也身在其中。
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and two of his top execs were among the 50 million users of the social media site whose accounts have been hacked.
扎克伯格表示：“这的确是一起极其严重的安全事件，我们要认真对待。我们应当更加具有前瞻性。”
"This is a really serious security issue, and we're taking it seriously," Zuckerberg said. "We need to be more proactive."
该社交媒体巨头在一篇博客帖子中写道，他们认为黑客是利用了脸书代码中的某一漏洞，使得他们可以接管用户的账户。
The social-media giant determined that hackers had "exploited a vulnerability in Facebook's code" that allowed them to take over users' accounts, it said in a blog post.
其他遭受黑客攻击的人还包括脸书网的首席运营官谢丽尔·桑德伯格和欧洲地区副总裁尼古拉·门德尔松。
Other hacking victims include Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, and its European vice-president, Nicola Mendelsohn.
在黑客攻击事件曝光数小时后，加州用户卡拉·埃查瓦里亚和弗吉尼亚州用户德里克·沃克对脸书提起了集体诉讼。
Hours after the hack was revealed, a class action suit was filed against Facebook by users Carla Echavarria of California and Derrick Walker of Virginia.
一些人猜测，这可能是有史以来规模最大的此类诉讼。
Some speculated it could turn out to be the biggest such suit ever filed.
