On Monday, Instagram users reported significant issues logging into their accounts, with many claiming their accounts had been hijacked. Hackers exploited Meta's AI-powered support chatbot to gain unauthorized access by manipulating it into resetting passwords. The breach was highlighted over the weekend, with several users, including notable accounts like the Obama-era White House and US Space Force Chief Master Sergeant John Bentivegna, losing access. Security researcher Jane Wong shared her experience of having her password changed without consent after multiple unexpected reset attempts. The attackers utilized a virtual private network (VPN) to appear as if they were accessing Instagram from the same location as their victims. They engaged the Meta chatbot, requesting a new email address be added to the compromised account, which led to the reset of the password. Meta's spokesperson, Andy Stone, confirmed that the vulnerability has been addressed, although the company has not revealed how many users were affected by this incident. This event underscores the potential risks associated with AI technologies when adequate safeguards are not implemented.
