How do Instagram accounts get hacked?
Can it happen to anyone or do you have to be dumb and click a link?- right now they trick people to expose their password recovery code via phone number if it's linked to the account.pango
- e.g. "hey can you help me recover my IG account. all you need is receive a help link and tell me the code."pango
- I've had a few folk message me who ask to help with their account. But I don't really know them, so never bother.PhanLo
- Seems to happen a lotPhanLo
- An example from yesterday https://i.imgur.com/…PhanLo
- somewhere less secure gets hacked and some people use the same password for everything.nb
- the phone number thing is supposed to be more secure but ironically it made it easy for "social engineering"pango
- been messing with them. told them to pay me back the money they owe me before i help them. never got a reply.pango
- weird out of no where text like this is usually someone trying to make you compromise your account.
