Ask HN: How can I get an OpenAI account bug in front of an engineer?I'm trying to reach someone at OpenAI regarding what appears to be a bug in their phone verification flow.The issue is not related to my normal account login or 2FA. I can successfully log in to ChatGPT, and my authenticator-based 2FA works as expected.The problem occurs during OpenAI's phone verification flow (which is seemingly now required to use codex) at https://auth.openai.com/phone-verificationFor phone verification, I'm required to receive a verification code via WhatsApp.However I don't receive any verification codes in WhatsApp.Furthermore, I've never setup WhatsApp as an authentication method, and I'm not located in a country that OpenAI lists as supporting WhatsApp verification. My phone number is also not associated with a country that OpenAI lists as supporting WhatsApp verification. For what it's worth no SMS or call options are given as a fallback either.So as a result, I can't verify my phone number and cannot access Codex, despite being able to authenticate successful

Tell HN: Meta's AI support feature allows Instagram accounts to be stolenIf the AI support option is enabled for your Instagram account (it appears to be A/B tested for only a percentage of accounts), anyone can hijack it with little effort. Simply get on a proxy or VPN close to the account's region, then ask the agent to send a code to an arbitrary email address. Once you receive the code, pass it forward to the agent, and it'll provide you with a password reset link which you can then use to sign into the account.Posting here for any Meta employees who may be reading. This flaw has been around for at least a few days and has been used to hijack over 100 high-value Instagram accounts. The correct patch would be to disable the AI support feature entirely for the time being until this is sorted and revert accounts and usernames that have been hijacked over the last few days. This is a pretty important flaw and it's currently being exploited in blackhat circles. The steps above are public knowledge in these circles and can be found trivially on Telegram.Edit:

Show HN: USD Accounts for Pakistani FreelancersHey everyone, Tom here. My co-founder Mahmood and I have spent the past few months building Rizq, a financial platform for Pakistani freelancers.After speaking with 50+ freelancers, we saw a clear gap: despite issues like high fees and account freezes, many still rely on Payoneer because no alternative offers the same experience. Most end up juggling multiple tools just to make it work. Existing solutions focus a lot on USD accounts but we want to go a step further and offer invoice tooling and getting the details right for freelancers.Rizq aims to simplify everything into one platform with lower fees.What we’re building:- Virtual USD accounts- Payment links for clients- Virtual cards- P2P transfers- Access to global stocks & ETFsWe’re still early, but the waitlist is live. If you have any feedback would love to hear it.Join here: https://www.rizqfinance.com/Big thanks to everyone who shared feedback on reddit, it helped shape Rizq.
