Instagram big data drop

Instagram, the data dropped in a big way. It hit 17.5 million users! 😱

It immediately became a hot topic in cyberspace when Instagram's massive data breach was reported to have leaked a huge amount of user personal information, and even scarier, the "timing" scene!

🔍 What happened?

Analysts have found that during the data crash, an unusually high number of attempts to "send a password reset request" (Password-Reset Attack) immediately increased, which means that hackers may be using the stolen data to hack into real-time accounts!

📂 What risky information?

Preliminary, it is expected that the information dropped out includes:

* 📧 Email addresses

* 📱 Phone number (Phone numbers)

* 🆔 Account identifiers

* 🔗 data for recovery of linked accounts

Most Risky Groups: Accounts with a lot of followers, Influencers and Business Pages because they are the main targets for ransom or corruption.

✅ 4 Czech ways and protect yourself express!

Don't wait to be hacked before editing. Let's start following this:

* Change password immediately: Set to make guessing difficult and unique to other apps 🔐

* Open Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): recommend using an authentication app (such as Google Authenticator) instead of receiving SMS. It is much safer. 📲

* Observe Login Alert: If someone is trying to log in from another location, press Deny and change the code immediately. 🚫

* Beware of Phishing: During this period, do not press strange links sent by DM or emails claiming to be "from Instagram" to restore the data! ⚠️
