HOW DO HACKERS EMBED MALWARE INTO PICTURES AND VIDEOS?
It's called steganography, the practice of hiding data inside seemingly harmless files like images, audio, or videos to evade detection.
It's important to note that the hidden data alone doesn't automatically infect your device. In many attacks, the malware is extracted by another malicious program already on the system, or the media file exploits a vulnerability in the software used to open it.

1/ @EcoCashZW 's X account was hacked on June 3, 2026.
For 7 hours and 12 minutes, customer names, IDs, account numbers and transactions were exposed via the public support chats.
Here's what the law says should happen next — and a live clock tracking whether it does. 🧵
Meta gave an AI the ability to reset your Instagram password.
Gave it zero way to verify who it was talking to.
Deployed it silently to millions of users.
It got exploited for months.
Multiple accounts were hijacked, even the Obama White House account got hijacked and filled with Iranian propaganda.
Meta's official response: "No breach of our systems."
YOUR account. THEIR systems. See how that works?
Anyways, if you can't ditch Instagram, make sure to enable 2FA.

Thanks me later.
Google’s search results are full of misinformation.
Google Maps takes you the wrong way.
Google Photos still can’t find the specific picture you want.
But releasing 32 million infected mosquitoes into Florida?
They have a whole department for that.
It’s called Debug.
It has been running for over a decade.
Nobody knew.
A company gave every employee unlimited access to Claude.
Set zero spending limits.
Got a $500 million bill. In one month.
Meanwhile Meta made token usage a leaderboard.
Low score meant getting fired.
So engineers left AI agents running all day doing nothing.
Just to keep their jobs.
AI was supposed to replace the humans.
Instead the humans figured out how to game the AI metrics.
Nobody is getting replaced. Everybody is just bleeding money.
So far AI has:
• destroyed the prices of personal electronics
• have data centers relocate people from homes and contaminate water supplies
• destroy the concept of objective reality with Gen AI
• layoff off thousands from jobs
Oh, but it’s the future guys!
The era of "free forever" social media is ending.
Meta just launched paid subscriptions for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Not because ads stopped working—but because AI is so expensive that even the world's largest ad company wants recurring revenue.
So what does this actually mean for us?
For now, not much.
Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp will remain free. You won't suddenly need a subscription to send messages, scroll your feed, or post content.
What Meta is really doing is creating a second revenue stream. Free users will continue seeing ads, while paying users get extra features, customization options, premium tools, and eventually deeper AI integrations.
The bigger story isn't the subscription itself.
It's that ad revenue alone is no longer enough to fund the next generation of AI infrastructure. Training models and running AI at Meta's scale costs billions.
When a company built on "free" starts charging, pay attention.
The business model of the internet is changing.
