Instagram says it has fixed a bug that reportedly let hackers trick its AI support tool into giving them access to other people’s accounts. |
Posts shared on social media claimed hackers could use Instagram’s recovery process to change the email linked to an account, then reset its password. |
Some reportedly used VPNs to make it look like they were in the account holder’s location. |
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said the issue had been resolved and that affected accounts were being secured. |
He also denied claims that world leaders’ accounts were hacked through the flaw. |
It is unclear how many accounts were affected. |
However, 404 Media reported that posts about the bug appeared around the same time as several high-profile Instagram takeovers, including a verified account once used by Barack Obama. |
Security researcher and former Meta employee Jane Manchun Wong also said her Instagram password had been changed without her knowledge. |
The incident has raised concerns about AI support tools being used for sensitive tasks like account recovery. |
In brief |
Hackers reportedly used VPNs to fake their location. Instagram’s AI support tool allegedly approved risky account changes. Some users said they struggled to reach human support after being hacked. |
VPNs did overtime |
Cybersecurity experts warned that AI support tools can become a security risk if they are given too much control without enough checks. |

AI FILM |

Martin Scorsese is working with AI company Black Forest Labs as an advisor. |
The Oscar-winning director said he has been using the company’s FLUX technology to help create storyboards. |
He said the tool makes it easier to show his creative team what he is imagining during pre-production. |
Scorsese compared it to his past use of 3D in Hugo and de-ageing technology in The Irishman. |
He said AI could help teams move faster without losing quality or craft. |
However, some artists have criticised the move. They argue that AI tools could hurt storyboard artists and may be trained on creative work without permission. |
Three things stand out: |
Scorsese says AI helps him share visual ideas faster during pre-production. Some artists argue the technology could threaten creative jobs and use work without consent. Hollywood remains divided on whether AI is a useful tool or a risk to the craft. |
The cinema courting |
Black Forest Labs has released a video showing Scorsese using the platform. |
His role makes him one of the most high-profile filmmakers to publicly support AI in parts of the creative process. |
The debate shows Hollywood is still split on AI: some see it as a useful production tool, while others see it as a threat to creative jobs. |
Scorsese using AI for storyboards is exactly the kind of plot twist Hollywood writers would call “a bit much -MG |
