Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
This was not a vulnerability. This is the technical equivalent of going to a neighbor of the house you want to rob and asking them to borrow the spare key.
They implicitly trusted the AI with no guardrails. The AI simply gave it up.
So, Meta released a vulnerability (an incredibly stupid one) and someone took advantage of it to gain access to an account they weren't authorised to access... which is the definition of hacking
Right, which is a vulnerability. That it's there by incompetence doesn't change that.
Most vulnerabilities are because of incompetence, really.
