[h=1]Facebook offices in Hamburg vandalised[/h]
Vandals smash glass, throw paint and spray ‘Facebook dislike’ on entrance of social network’s building in northern German city
Vandals have damaged the entrance to a building in Hamburg that houses the offices of social network Facebook, smashing glass, throwing paint and spraying “Facebook dislike” on a wall, according to police in the northern German city.
Police said in a statement on Sunday that the overnight attack was carried out by a group of 15-20 people wearing black clothes and hoods. An investigation has been launched. Facebook was not immediately available to comment.
