Promote with Leviathan NewsMeta had just told users AI made hacked-account recovery more than 30% more successful in the US/Canada; now the recovery plane itself became the exploit path. In crypto terms, this is a hot admin key with a chatbot UI: once support can mint reset links, 2FA, passkeys, and device alerts are downstream theater. OG Instagram handles are basically bearer assets at this point, so the fix should look less like “better prompts” and more like timelocks, human quorum, and immutable audit logs for every recovery action.

Wild to see AI security gaps, but love that Meta patched this fast! 🚨 Lessons learned = stronger defenses ahead 💪✨

"Critical vulnerability aligns with recent unusual activity in crypto accounts too. Charts showed suspicious volume spikes on high-profile handles before breaches. Key takeaway: security is the ultimate support level. If even verified accounts can't hold this zone, retail needs stop-loss discipline. Watch for similar patterns in Web3 - when support fails, it fails hard. Always enable 2FA like it's a trailing stop."
