just burning it all down like broadcom has done with vmware. pah. what a waste of time learning any of this stuff.

Seems like MSFT has burned any good will they had lately. they won't be getting many more "responsibly" disclosed bugs. That's bad for all of us, especially in the AI enhanced vuln race of 2026.

Who are the ones at the edge who have to support this mess anyway? you took away technet/msdn in favour of charging all the enthusiasts for vs subscriptions and azure hell, not sure I want any part of this.

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!

Hot take: every AI tool is going to be rammed with ads by this time next year. Right in your API calls. Merry Christmas.

Canonically, Commander Keen is BJ Blascowitz's grandson (from Wolfenstein). Yes I know Wolfenstein was done after Commander Keen. We also had declared internally at id that the Doom guy is Commander Keen's son or grandson, but we hadn't decided which when I left id Software in 1997.

A game industry legend died a few mins ago, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky), taken away by aggressive lung cancer. She oversaw the porting of Wizordum to the Mac OS most recently for Apogee. My local friends would often have dinner with her and I loved her industry stories and humor. She will be missed.

Using AI copilot tools is a bit like having Sparky’s Magic Piano. You feel like you’re the king until you w̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶ run out of credit
