The cool thing about Meta products is there is no way to reach support - even if you pay for enhanced supported with verified accounts etc because you’re locked out.
‼️🚨 BREAKING: Meta's AI feature let attackers hijack Instagram accounts for days with nothing but a username. It was being A/B tested on a slice of users, and if you were in the test, you couldn't turn it off. Among the casualties: the official Obama White House account.
The method: get on a VPN near the target's region, ask the Meta AI support agent to send a verification code to any email you control, relay that code back to the agent, and it hands over a password reset link. Without ID or human review. From there, the account is yours.
The flaw lived in the AI's logic layer, which acted on recovery requests with no real identity checks. One researcher compared it to the Roblox AI assistant exploit from days earlier, where you needed a target's billing info. Instagram was easier: the username and a regional VPN were enough and victims reported sessions revoked and passwords changed with no email, text, or push alert at all.
By the time it went public, the method was common knowledge in blackhat Telegram circles and had been used to allegedly hijack 100+ high-value accounts.
Accounts hit:
- obamawhitehouse (the archived official Obama White House account, ~2.4M followers. Hackers posted an AI-generated image captioned "The White House is under Shiites' control," plus cryptic anti-Trump and pro-Iranian Stories. Meta confirmed the hack and scrubbed it.
- Premium short handles like hey and jowo, worth over $1M combined, stolen and flipped on Telegram.
- albert (owned by Albert Renshaw), whose owner publicly reported being locked out and unable to reach Meta support.
Meta has since patched it. There was no public acknowledgment.
A very sad announcement.
I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.
In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.
Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.
In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.
Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.
Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."
You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.
Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.
The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.
Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.
Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.
If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.
If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

Want to know what it sounded like during the launch of Flight 12 of Starship today?
Check out this video and the shaking of the windows. This was during my livestream with @esherifftv (Ellie in Space) at a ouse about 5 miles from the launch site.
Definitely have the volume up! Truly a powerful rocket ... the most powerful ever!
@MacOnChain@AESElSalvador Nice! How did they test your equipment? I need like a single outlet meter or a smart panel that shows me real time usage per breaker
My residential power bills have increased 50% easily this year without usage changes. I think there is some type of penalty pricing over a threshold of kw/month. Anyone know?
On the flip side, my North Wine power bill is insanely small, a nod to commercial users maybe?
Excuse me @AESElSalvador, how has my energy bill jumped from usually being $100 to over $200?
My neighbours bill has also jumped up massively?
I was in Europe for 3 weeks during this period as well? This doenst make sense
@nayibbukele this should be looked into
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → https://t.co/2gZQUxS6mm
K1 turns 4 this week! 🎉
Back in 2021, our founder Edgar Borja went to El Zonte to buy Bitcoin from an ATM.
He put in $10.
Ten minutes later, after fees and waiting, he received about $7 in Bitcoin.
That experience led to the creation of K1’s mission: to build the easiest way to buy Bitcoin in the world.
Our first step was the K1 Mini: a compact unit that accepted coins and immediately sent Bitcoin to your wallet via Lightning.
This was our beginning.
Over the next few days, we’ll celebrate the journey the same way we built it: one year at a time. 🧵👇
🚨 CANADIAN TRAVELERS: YOUR LIFE IS AT RISK 🧳 ✈️
Innocent Canadians are landing abroad and getting ARRESTED for drug smuggling… because airport insiders at @TorontoPearson are switching their luggage tags onto suitcases full of cocaine.
CTV W5 exclusive: At least 17 victims in one year. Destinations include countries where drug smuggling can mean the DEATH PENALTY.
This is the tip of the iceberg.
How is this happening inside our airports? Could it have anything to do with the airport being staffed by majority foreigners? Arrests of baggage handlers aren’t enough. First a gold heist now this! Security must be fixed NOW.
Tag everyone you know who flies.
This could happen to ANYONE. 🇨🇦
