What happened
Multiple security issues and policy tensions highlighted: attackers have demonstrated an account-takeover technique that abuses Meta’s AI support chatbot to add an attacker-controlled email and reset Instagram passwords (using VPN-based location spoofing to evade protections), indicating an authentication/account-recovery workflow flaw in Meta’s chatbot. Separately, an anonymous researcher published significant Windows exploits (including a reported BitLocker bypass), prompting Microsoft to threaten legal action and raising coordinated-disclosure and vendor-response concerns.
