It appears that the large-scale hacking campaign aimed at controlling Instagram accounts through the Meta Platforms artificial intelligence chat application continued even after the company announced the solution to the problem. Early last week, hackers claimed to have exploited the Meta AI chat application to control several prominent Instagram accounts. At the same time, a large number of social media platform users complained that their accounts on the platform had been hacked, some of which were characterized by short, unique user names. The "TechCrunch" website, which specializes in technology news, monitored examples of accounts said to have been hacked and bearing common names or names of countries, which can be resold due to their scarcity in the so-called "original usernames" market. Among the victims of another hacking wave is the White House account of former US President Barack Obama (which Meta denied), and the account of the US Space Force's chief sergeant, John Bentevigna. TechCrunch stated that these attacks were so simple that describing them as hacks may give their perpetrators an exaggerated estimate, while absolving Meta of responsibility for its failure not to prevent such primitive attacks from penetrating user accounts. The hacking process was carried out by hackers telling the artificial intelligence chatbot "Meta AI" that they were the owners of the victim's account, and asking it to link that person's account to an email address they control. The chatbot responded to the request, allowing the hacker to reset the victim's account password, take control of it, and in some cases, block victims' access to their accounts. Despite a Meta spokesman announcing that this problem had been completely resolved, users of the Instagram platform said that their accounts had been hacked, while discussions were monitored between members of a channel on the Telegram application, in which the hacking technique was promoted, and in which speakers claimed to be able to exploit the “Meta AI” application, and were offering hacked accounts for sale.
