Today we are announcing the largest single addition to our casualty records since the Second World War, following a major international research project drawing on rare historical records.

A total of 9,909 Indian Army servicemen – previously missing from the our records – have now been added, correcting a past historical omission that meant they were never formally commemorated.

#OTD in 1982, HMS Conqueror arrived in Scotland while flying a Jolly Roger to signify the sub's successful operations during the Falklands War. The flag featured a silhouette of a cruiser representing ARA General Belgrano which had been torpedoed and sunk by Conqueror on 2 May.

Today in 1916, British Empire and French forces launch a major offensive against the German lines along the River Somme. The 140 days of heavy fighting that follow push the Germans back roughly five miles at a cost of a half a million casualties. German losses are nearly 500,000 killed, wounded or missing.

My mom passed away last night with 10 family members by her side.

She was the first in our family to escape the Soviet Union. She arrived in California with nothing, hustled as a single mom of 4, and achieved the American dream in every respect.

She was crafty, resourceful, and could make humor out of any situation.

Here’s a photo of us when money was tight: I asked to be Aladdin for Halloween, so she dressed me up as a Russian gypsy and thought I wouldn’t notice.

People are now claiming that @f and @e on instagram weren't stolen using the Meta Ai support bot but rather through an employee at Meta

[André @oracles]

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!
