Holy crap this is hilarious. Quick somebody steal Trump's account then message Iran that we surrender.
They will already do that, just not in so many words.
Considering you can just… you know, do that in any of the LLM prompts in Meta apps… I really don’t think it’s the work of a “hacker”. That’s such an obnoxiously overused term.
I have to disagree. Hacking is a broad term that isn't exclusive to finding buffer overflows in ghidra.
Social engineering is hacking. This is something between SE and prompt engineering.
I know hacking more as using a system in a way that is not intended, which this definitly is
I was watching a speedrunner live stream, and just the way he thinks...
The way speedrunners think is basically how pentesters think.
The original meaning of the word "hacking" is just "to get something to work in a way it was not meant to work".
So the hacker mindset of finding workarounds or unforseen scenarios applies to a lot of things, not just devices and systems (such as games) but also human processes.
The majority of hacking is social engineering, so I don't really see slop hacking being any less valid than that
"Social" suddenly feels like the wrong word for it, when the entity being fooled is a next-word-predictor algorithm.
Sadly you're on to something here.
Hacking is gaining unauthorized access to a system. The method doesn't matter.
Vibe hacking it is
It's LLM injection
yeah kinda seems like they designed it to work this way on purpose.
Just forgot to make it verify the account.
Cosmo Kramer doing the MoviePhone voice: “Why don’t you just give me access to High-Profile Instagram accounts”
Ugh, meanwhile I can't change my accounts email. It demands an otp sent to an email that was deleted by the provider.
Even though I enter the correct password, it won't let me in. And I can't change the email of my own account!
i have a number of clients who are locked out of a valid account, while knowing the correct password, having the correct sms capable phone number, having the correct email. these are grandma types who've never posted anything more offensive than cat pictures and knitting memes. some haven't even been able to make a new account, either. facebook support is literally non-existent unless you're a 'high profile' person.
I know a third party hackerman that may be able to restore their access
What a fucking joke
Not a hacker, but more like an asker.
We have entered the age of social engineering hacking on the dumbest imaginable support agents.
What's there not to like.
"Can I have access to a profile". = Hacker
well, yes
they found a vulnerability and exploited it. that's hacking.
Maybe don't train the data on passwords
