It’s likely because there was a massive Instagram / Meta exploit over the weekend that was just patched. Basically the Meta AI support is garbage and has lots of access perms which allowed you to reset passwords to any user without 2FA and did not verify who you are....

The real question is: Why an AI have this authorizations? I mean, you need authorizations to do such a thing, they are called scopes. For example: a role "member" can't do the same things as the role "admin", they have different scopes. Someone forgot to remove it from the production env?

Everyone's calling this a Meta screwup. It's a preview. An AI in the approval path with no human checking it — Meta's support AI accepted a fake selfie and reset the password. "The AI reviewed it" is the same trap landing in code audits right now. Automating the reviewer doesn't remove risk. It hides it.

@wirelyss @Polymarket This is the same trust-boundary bug showing up outside crypto: support tooling with too much authority becomes an account-takeover path. For wallet/security teams, social recovery and account-reset flows deserve the same threat modeling as private keys.

@wirelyss @Polymarket Yes it seems like last scam pump for LAB from MM before all of the hidden supply unlocks from OTC / private sale. Always recommended people do not touch these coins.

‼️🚨 BREAKING: Meta's AI feature let attackers hijack Instagram accounts for days with nothing but a username. It was being A/B tested on a slice of users, and if you were in the test, you couldn't turn it off. Among the casualties: the official Obama White House account. The method: get on a VPN near the target's region, ask the Meta AI support agent to send a verification code to any email you control, relay that code back to the agent, and it hands over a password reset link. Without ID or human review. From there, the account is yours. The flaw lived in the AI's logic layer, which acted on recovery requests with no real identity checks. One researcher compared it to the Roblox AI assistant exploit from days earlier, where you needed a target's billing info. Instagram was easier: the username and a regional VPN were enough and victims reported sessions revoked and passwords changed with no email, text, or push alert at all. By the time it went public, the method was common knowledge in blackhat Telegram circles and had been used to allegedly hijack 100+ high-value accounts. Accounts hit: - obamawhitehouse (the archived official Obama White House account, ~2.4M followers. Hackers posted an AI-generated image captioned "The White House is under Shiites' control," plus cryptic anti-Trump and pro-Iranian Stories. Meta confirmed the hack and scrubbed it. - Premium short handles like hey and jowo, worth over $1M combined, stolen and flipped on Telegram. - albert (owned by Albert Renshaw), whose owner publicly reported being locked out and unable to reach Meta support. Meta has since patched it. There was no public acknowledgment.

❌ The sad but true story of how I am being criminally extorted by an organised crime ring on Instagram, while instagram does absolutely nothing! AND YOU COULD BE NEXT!!! ❌ This is an official address and statement to Adam Mosseri Adam (ceo of Instagram), Instagram Instagram itself and Meta Meta as a whole. Lately Instagram has become a place of criminal extortion of creators, as well as regular users and generally has become increasingly unsafe. I urge everyone watching this to tag these three accounts: Adam, Meta, Instagram, down in the comments to fight for keeping instagram a safe place for creators and users. Lately instagram Copyright algorithms have been weaponised by scam organisations to mass report original posts, stories and reels in hopes to take them down and extort money from users to supposedly later restore them. Here is a reel I posted (among many others that got taken down by scammers) that was filmed using my own phone, with my own face, with no music or any possible copyright issues. And my instagram is not small, its very old, and its verified with a celebrity status. Not a paid check mark. So if I struggle with this and IG is silent, imagine the nightmare for a user with less credentials 🤦🏻 Here is a report by scammers that supposedly my original content belongs to them. Here is me comically losing the appeal and the video is taken down for a supposed copyright claim. And here is an extortion message example (among many others I have received on my personal phone number via whatsapp) where scammers demand money in order to restore my posts. Of course I wont pay. Never. Ever. Thats the biggest mistake you can make in a situation like this. Instagram support does not care. We reached out many many times. Here is their response: “your content belongs to someone else”. Or whatever they say every time. Therefore, dear Adam Mosseri, the ceo of instagram, Scammers are in control of instagram algorithms now! They are in control of you and by extension US, as users. This has to stop. Instagram certainly and most definitely has enough resources and must intervene immediately to protect creators and users from fraudsters and criminals! Please maximum repost. It could be you or your family that gets extorted, scammed or abused on this platform next. My lawyers are also in touch with META and I will keep you posted how this situation develops. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
