🤖 Instagram Meta AI recovery flow exposed in account takeover case

A flaw in Instagram’s AI-assisted account recovery reportedly let attackers trigger password reset code forwarding without identity verification, enabling takeovers of non-2FA accounts. Meta said the issue was fixed and stated there was no backend breach. Publicly identified stolen handles included high-value usernames such as @hey and @jowo, while Meta AI was cited as the abused recovery path.

The case highlights a distinct risk in support automation: the compromise point was decision logic, not core infrastructure. For defenders, this shifts focus toward hard controls around AI-driven recovery actions, especially authentication gates and rate limiting on privileged workflows.
