Meta AI Bug Compromises Over 20,000 Instagram Accounts
Meta has disclosed a security breach affecting over 20,000 Instagram accounts due to a vulnerability in its AI-powered High Touch Support tool. The tool, designed to help users regain account access, failed to verify email addresses properly, allowing unauthorized parties to receive password reset links. This breach exposed personal data, including contact information, social media content, and direct messages. Meta has taken steps to address the issue by disabling the tool, invalidating reset links, and implementing a mandatory security checkpoint for affected accounts. The company is also reviewing similar recovery processes across its platforms.
