AI agents are useful, but they become risky when they can take action in real systems. In this episode, Tom Eston discusses recent reporting about attackers tricking Meta’s AI support chatbot into helping hijack Instagram accounts, and why that story matters far beyond social media. Tom explains practical guardrails for AI agents: read-only access first, human approval for consequential actions, separated accounts and contexts, prompt-injection awareness, least privilege, logging, monitoring, and adversarial testing for support and account recovery workflows.
