The newest Instagram “exploit” is the goofiest I've seen

The article describes an Instagram account-recovery flaw that allowed attackers to seize high-profile accounts by abusing the platform’s AI-powered support. Attackers claimed the account was hacked, spoofed a nearby location, and directed verification codes to an attacker-controlled email, enabling password resets and bypassing 2FA while existing sessions were revoked. Meta reportedly patched the flaw after it circulated in black-market Telegram groups for weeks, with targets including accounts such as the Obama White House account.
