The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

    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.

      You need more technical knowledge than for Social Engineering.

      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.

      Hacking is gaining unauthorized access to a system. The method doesn’t matter.

      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.

      yeah kinda seems like they designed it to work this way on purpose.
      Just forgot to make it verify the account.
