Hackers Trick Meta AI Into Handing Over High-Profile Instagram Accounts

Hackers found a simple way to get access to high-profile Instagram accounts. They just asked Meta's AI system for help. The AI, which handles customer support, gave them the access they wanted. This shows how risky it is to rely on AI for security tasks.

The hackers exploited Meta's AI-powered support system. They used it to gain control of accounts that weren't theirs. This breach highlights the dangers of using AI to handle sensitive tasks like account security.

Why this matters for us: This shows how easily our social media accounts can be compromised when companies depend too much on AI for security.
