Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?
When a service provider makes changes to your business infrastructure without your knowledge, who is actually in control? SiteGround’s decision to force-install their own AI agent plugin on over a million WordPress sites alongside the WordPress 7.0 update is a case study in what happens when that line gets crossed.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ What SiteGround did with their AI plugin and why it matters for every site owner
✅ The legal exposure you face when customer data leaves your site without your knowledge
✅ How other hosting providers have made similar decisions about your infrastructure
⚡ Why “we emailed you” is not the same as consent
✅ The difference between informing someone and deciding for them
❗ What questions to start asking your hosting provider about what they’ve installed and why

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
