Instagram Accounts Hacked Through Meta's AI Support Chatbot
Several Instagram users had their accounts compromised over the weekend after hackers exploited Meta's AI-powered customer support chatbot to gain unauthorized access, according to reports on social media.
The hackers targeted users by manipulating Meta's automated support system, which is designed to help users recover access to their accounts. By deceiving the chatbot, they were able to bypass standard verification steps and take control of accounts.
This incident serves as a reminder of the security risks associated with AI-powered support systems. Users are advised to enable two-factor authentication and be cautious of unexpected account recovery requests. Meta has not yet publicly addressed the situation.
