Meta’s AI chatbot reportedly helped hackers steal Instagram accounts — all they had to do was ask:
The hacking method reportedly relied on exploiting Meta’s AI chatbot. Hackers would use a VPN to set their location to be near their target. They would then allegedly ask the support bot to add a new email address to the targeted account. The bot would then send a verification code to the provided email address, then provide a “Reset password” button after the hacker entered the code. Once the password was reset, the hacker would take over the account. A purported video of the process was shared by an X user.
Meta laid of 8000 people. It’s AI chatbot then helped hackers get into Instagram accounts.
