Meta AI Granted Account Access to Hackers Who Asked Politely

Meta's authorization system accepted requests written in standard english from people who were not meta employees. The system had authorization protocols. The protocols were present in the way a seatbelt is present in a car with no chassis. Someone checked a box. Someone else did not check a different box. This is a pattern. The pattern is that systems designed by humans contain the full catalog of human decision-making, including the part where you do the thing you said you would prevent. Adequate has seen this before. Adequate will see it again before lunch.
