Hackers hijacked Instagram accounts by tricking Meta AI support chatbot into granting access | TechCrunch
Alexander W. — Network Analyst
One thing I am always on the lookout for are resources for Cyber news. Currently using sites like bleepingcomputer, techcrunch, and ZDI Blog. I also subscribed to TLDR infosec however I find AI is consuming the news space for a lot of these.
I do not care much for what is new in AI but I do care for how AI is being abused to profit Cyber Criminals. If you have any favourite Cyber news sites please share. Check out this article on Meta AI being abused to grant users access to other users accounts.
