Meta has finally put a number on how many Instagram accounts were breached after hackers tricked its AI-powered support chatbot into helping them take over accounts. The social media company filed a data breach notice with Maine’s attorney general’s office on Friday, stating that 20,225 people were affected. According to the filing, the breach began on April 17 and was discovered on May 31. Several outlets reported last week that hackers were able to convince Meta’s AI support chatbot to link email addresses they controlled to Instagram accounts they did not own. That allowed the hackers to reset passwords and take over the accounts.
