Hacking

A vulnerability in the Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2X's firmware allows attackers within a 15M range to turn the speaker into a covert spying tool without pairing or physical contact.

Hackers used Meta's AI support bot to reset passwords and deface Instagram accounts, including those of the Obama White House and the U.S. Space Force. The attack was made possible by a vulnerability in the bot's password reset flow.

A string of high-profile Instagram accounts, including the Obama White House account, were seemingly hacked using a 'zero auth password reset' technique. The attackers faked the location of the accounts and tricked Meta's support AI into sending verification codes to their email addresses.
