Occasionally I review games and retweet gaming deals. Gaming and repairs.

@DoesItPlay1 Likely another case of can't keep up with the read/write requirement vs. an issue with game size.

@LickyOnMyBlick @XBOX Why is Nintendo letting Final Fantasy be played on the playstation??

@Wario64 These designs are making Sony try to seem like Apple.

@SemisMIA @Wario64 This is pretty much the only response to anything pricing-wise these days :(

@IntCyberDigest First Sony, now this. Sony STILL hasn't issued any statement, apology, or fix. People have been compromising PSN accounts for about a year now and completely bypassing MFA by disabling it thanks to their chatbot.

@IronRat93 @tomwarren Likely be around $2500.

@KnightsTomboy @FF_XIV_EN *sigh* I'll do it.

UMAD BRO?

Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone.

People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands.

I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years.

Obama White House account got hit.

These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised.

The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page).

Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie.

They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof.

And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face
.
Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did.

Point is even locked down accounts went down.

Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help.

You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call.

The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop.

One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it.

Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute.

Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

@cyb3rops @theJoshMeister @msftsecresponse As I was reading their post all I kept thinking was it looked so similar to this.
