Harvard dropout and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg found himself the subject of fake news on Thursday after the school's newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, was hacked.

Instead of the Crimson's regularly planned special commencement issue, the website showcased some not so flattering photoshops and strange headlines.

Zuckerberg was parodied in a hack on the student paper's website.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
