Pricey Instagram handles were stolen and resold before Meta patched the exploit.

Attackers are allegedly abusing Meta's AI support assistant to take over Instagram accounts through simple prompts, with the Obama White House account reportedly among the victims.

The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

The AI support bot added a hacker's email, sent a verification code, and offered a password reset button. No access to the victim's email was needed.

Hackers simply tricked Meta's AI support into sending them a password reset email.

Several users on social media reported having their Instagram accounts hacked over the weekend. Meta's own support chatbot was blamed for allowing hackers to hijack accounts.

Does this count as vibe hacking?
