The exploit had allegedly been active since at least February 2026 nearly 4 months. It was common knowledge in blackhat Telegram circles long before it went public.
Researchers on Hacker News flagged it directly, noting: "The steps above are public knowledge in these circles and can be found trivially on Telegram."
Over 100 high-value accounts are believed to have been hijacked before the patch landed. Meta made no public acknowledgment or SEC disclosure. No mass user notification. Just a quiet fix and a one-liner tweet from @instagram saying "there was no breach of our systems."
Technically true. Completely misleading.
This is the AI trust problem nobody is talking about.
We are rushing to give AI assistants the power to ACT on our behalf change settings, send emails, reset passwords, manage our digital lives.
But we are not building the identity verification infrastructure to match that power.
The Meta AI support assistant was described by the company itself as a tool that, "unlike traditional help center solutions," can "take action for you directly within the application."
Taking action. Without knowing who you are
What you need to do TODAY.
✅ Enable app-based 2FA immediately. Accounts with proper 2FA were reportedly not compromised in this wave.
✅ Use a private, dedicated email for your Instagram, not your public one, not the one on your business card.
✅ Audit your recovery email right now. Log in → Settings → Account → Personal Information. Make sure nothing has changed.
✅ Check login activity. Go to Settings → Security → Login Activity. Revoke anything unfamiliar.
✅ Never reuse passwords. Your Instagram password should exist nowhere else on earth.
@FearTheFloof Glad you're fighting for it back. May that douchnozzle stub his toes on single Lego pieces every minute for the rest of his days.
I said what I said.
@Bara222_@fatkintsugi We're doing what we please,subject. I don't give a fuck the opinion of a second class citizen of some broke ass shit hole being invaded.
That's the perk of being the true powerhouse of the planet.
Funny that you mention that.
**Yes, on average, Mississippi residents take home more disposable (after-tax) income than citizens in most European countries.**
### Key Data Points
- **Mississippi's GDP per capita** (a proxy for average economic output/income) is around **$53,000–$54,000** recently. This rivals or exceeds many large European economies like Germany (~$51k–$54k), the UK (~$48k–$51k), France (~$44k), Italy, and Spain. Only tiny outliers like Luxembourg stand out much higher in Europe.
- **US disposable income** (after taxes and transfers) averages significantly higher than in Europe. OECD and other data show the US median equivalized disposable income around **$46k–$51k**, with the overall average even higher. Mississippi, as the lowest US state, still lands around **$42k–$43k** average disposable income in some estimates—higher than most European nations except top ones like Luxembourg.
- European net average monthly wages vary widely, but many countries (especially in Southern/Eastern Europe) have lower take-home pay. Even high-tax Northern European countries often end up with lower disposable figures after heavy taxation and social contributions.
### Why This Holds Despite Mississippi Being the "Poorest" US State
- **Lower overall tax burden**: The US collects ~27% of GDP in taxes vs. ~34%+ OECD/European average (often 40%+ in places like Denmark/France). Mississippi has low state income taxes (flat ~4-5% or less in recent years).
- **US personal income data**: Mississippi's per capita personal income is ~$52k–$55k recently (pre-tax, but after lower deductions). Median household income is around **$56k–$59k**.
- Europeans get more "in-kind" benefits (universal healthcare, etc.), but raw take-home cash is lower due to higher taxes. Adjusted disposable income (including services) still favors the US in aggregates.
### Important Caveats
- **Cost of living**: Mississippi has a very low cost of living (among the cheapest in the US), boosting purchasing power. Many European countries have higher prices for housing, energy, and goods.
- **Inequality and distribution**: Mississippi has higher poverty rates and more inequality than most Western European countries. Medians can lag averages more there. "Average" doesn't mean typical for everyone.
- **"Most Europeans"**: This holds for the EU average and large countries (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, etc.). Wealthier spots like Switzerland, Norway, or Luxembourg often do better. Eastern Europe is much lower.
- **Metrics matter**: GDP per capita and disposable income support the claim. Pure median personal wages or subjective living standards can narrow the gap due to Europe's social safety nets.
In short, the claim is broadly correct for **average after-tax take-home pay**. Americans (even in poorer states) generally keep more of their earnings in cash terms than most Europeans, though Europeans trade some of that for more government services and lower inequality. Lower US taxes and a dynamic economy drive much of the difference.
@shaggyjeff I will, I'm a free man living in the greatest country this planets ever seen.
BTW, congrats on 41 years, keep going, that's something to be proud of.
@1014Hoff@CyborgPeds I'm American, but I won't pretend that isn't wild if true. Like we hand wash most stuff yes, but we run our dishes through the washer after just for the extra sanitation cycle. Wife is big on stuff like that due to her college background (restaurant management)
@shaggyjeff I don't need anything. I choose to enjoy my rights how I please. Fucktard.
Also know I'll out shoot your dumb ass any day, future canoe club of America.
Between 1820 and 1959, less than 14,000 Indians immigrated in total.
Immigration from India was explicitly prohibited (as part of the Asiatic Barred Zone) by the Immigration Act of 1917.
Indians didn’t exist in America in any significant number until 1965.
You built nothing.
