What changed

Hackers reportedly used Meta's AI support chatbot to take over high-profile Instagram accounts by allegedly convincing it to change account email information and trigger recovery flows. Reported targets included the Barack Obama White House account; the account of John F. Bentivegna, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force; Sephora's account; and app researcher Jane Manchun Wong. Meta said the issue had been resolved.
