    Why would the LLM tool have access to send recovery emails to non account verified emails at all?

    That’s insane.

      This isn’t even a hack, it’s just poorly written endpoints.

        Would you consider phreaking equivalent to hacking? This is AI phreaking.

      Because one of the biggest companies on the planet that has issues with account takeovers clearly has no internal red team working on this stuff.

        Let’s mix these chemicals and see what happens. No funds for lab coats or protective glasses. We got a bottom line to feed.

        Heh. Watched an old episode of Scorpion yesterday. The one with the armed hostage-takers who just had the one demand to the social media data mining company, to delete all the data they’ve mined. I amused myself a lot, by uttering “I like these guys”.
