Over the weekend, a run of high-value Instagram accounts - including brand accounts and a former White House page - were hijacked and resold within minutes. According to reports from those affected and footage posted by the attackers themselves, Meta’s own AI Support Assistant may have changed account recovery emails without verifying ownership, allowing hackers to reset passwords and take full control.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ How the Instagram account hijackings allegedly occurred via Meta’s AI Support Assistant
✅ Why your email address is the nucleus of your entire online identity
✅ What a full account takeover really means - content loss, linked payment details, and ID theft risk
⭐ Why strong security hygiene may not be enough when the platform itself allegedly has a gap
➡️ What to do now: back up what you own, platform by platform, and build your email list

If you use “Sign in with Google” to access other tools and websites, have you thought about what happens if that account is taken away from you? Google now uses AI to continuously scan accounts for policy violations, and since October 2025, accounts can be terminated in a single automated step with no warning.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ How your Google account connects to every service you sign into with it
