Meta's AI chatbot, designed to assist users with Instagram, has been exploited by hackers to compromise accounts. The attackers leveraged the chatbot's functionality to gain access to user credentials, allowing for large-scale account takeovers. This incident highlights a significant vulnerability in Meta's systems and the potential risks associated with AI-powered support tools.
A recent security breach has seen a large number of Instagram accounts being stolen through the exploitation of Meta's own AI chatbot. Hackers were able to use the chatbot to trick users into revealing their login credentials, effectively bypassing standard security measures.
