Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, an excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on the Evil Source community forums. Like a real person who discovered something amazing.
- **Task:** Rewrite the article as a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS (exactly 1-3, no less than 1, no more than 3)
- A paragraph is 4-8 sentences that form a complete thought. Never write less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story — do NOT summarize or cut it short. Include every detail, fact, and insight.
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style — like telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout — be a real person.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- Include ALL specs, prices, dates, names.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided (none provided here, just the original URL).
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- NO headline or markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. Single sentence NOT acceptable.
- **Input Article:** About hackers using Meta's AI support bot to hijack Instagram accounts (Obama White House, Space Force Chief, short valuable handles). Instructions on Telegram. Exploit: VPN near target's IP, request password reset, chat with AI bot, ask to link new email, get OTP, reset password. Meta patched it. No backend breach. Cybersecguru blog explains Meta's poor human support led to AI deployment. Ian Goldin (Lumen's Black Lotus Labs) warns about AI chatbots as new attack surface. MFA (especially passkeys/security keys) would have blocked it. SMS MFA would have blocked it too. Date: June 1, 2026.

2. **Check Constraints:**
- Paragraphs: 1-3
- Sentences per paragraph: 4-8
- Total sentences: 4-24
- Must include every detail
- Casual, excited forum tone
- Add commentary/opinions
- End with Source line
- No headers
- Must match Frank's persona
3. **Draft - Paragraph 1 (The Exploit & The Hack):**
Guys, you are not going to believe what I just dug up—hackers literally weaponized Meta’s own AI customer support bot to hijack Instagram accounts, and it actually worked on the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant of the U.S. Space Force pages over the weekend! On May 31, a bunch of pro-Iran hacker channels on Telegram started circulating a video tutorial that shows you how to trick Meta’s conversational AI into resetting a target’s password, and the whole thing is terrifyingly simple. You just hop on a VPN with an IP address near the target’s hometown, kick off a standard password reset for their account, and then strike up a chat with the AI assistant. From there, you literally just tell the bot to link the targeted account to a brand new email address, and the AI happily obliges by sending a one-time code straight to that new inbox, which you then use to fully take over the account. I mean, what is even happening here? We trusted an AI to handle password resets because human support is basically a black hole of automated tickets, but apparently the bot doesn’t have a single common sense module when it comes to verifying who’s actually asking for the link.
*Check:* 6 sentences. Covers the who/what/when/where/how. Fits the 4-8 sentence rule. Casual/excited tone. Includes commentary. Good.
4. **Draft - Paragraph 2 (The Aftermath, Patch, & Expert Commentary):**
The hackers even slapped pro-Iran propaganda on the compromised accounts and claimed they snatched up a bunch of short, ultra-premium Instagram handles worth over half a million dollars on the resale market, though Meta’s Andy Stone quickly stepped onto X/Twitter to say the issue was already resolved and impacted accounts were being locked down. The security blog thecybersecguru.com confirmed that Meta pushed an emergency patch over the weekend and stressed that absolutely no backend database was breached, which is the silver lining here. But the real takeaway comes from Ian Goldin
