Instagram is alerting users who were targeted by hackers during AI chatbot attacks techcrunch.com/2026/06/03/in…

Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone. People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands. I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years. Obama White House account got hit. These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised. The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page). Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie. They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof. And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face . Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did. Point is even locked down accounts went down. Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help. You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call. The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop. One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it. Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute. Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

the reason they made this is funny if yall dont know ISPs were throttling speeds when streaming from Netflix and when the user would run a speedtest via one of the usual sites they would detect that and stop it from throttling netflix's test caught this and proved it

Going from a $20/m subscription with a usage bar to a $20/m subscription with $20 worth of credits given to you in USD and not providing monthly rollover is a great way to get me to cancel my subscription If you want to keep usage in USD, offer rollover. If you don’t want to offer rollover, don’t show me a $$$$ amount

This is what Paramount Pictures has coming out this year, they’d rather give PAW Patrol and Angry Birds 3 theatrical releases, but not Avatar Aang? Make it make sense.

The Avatar scandal just went from bad to worse This is painful, and one of the greatest tragedies in animation history Overnight loss of control of over a decade of IP growth I am obsessed with the Avatar animation franchise & this is just painful to see. Because, based on what I have seen with these clips, the movie would have been mind-blowing! Marketing is messed up They've lost control of their IP, and also, I don't even know how they will recover from this If you are given the chance to watch the full movie, will you watch it now or still wait till October? Oh, and by the way, Aang >>> Korra.

So, basically, if Anthropic was not a US company, we’d be facing zero days with multiple unknown points of attack on virtually all of our systems to an adversary who developed this capacity before us.
