Somebody Hacked Audioholics Instagram Account

Yes my wife got a IG notification that someone was changing the email addy. When she clicked to undo it, it was a bogus IG link even though it had instagram.com in the url.

sounds like this is how you were hacked.

Seems that are some ways to recover the account that Gene should easily be able to pass.

I submitted a half dozen video selfies already but it's the weekend so it may take some time.

Although I have an Instagram account, I don't do much with it. I don't understand what would make Instagram accounts worth hacking. It's not like they contain valuable data - just a bunch of photos and videos that one would assume are also stored elsewhere. What am I not getting?

Personal accounts are very different from business accounts which can be used to generate income, drive sales to your website, to the forum, etc.

Someone hacked our Instagram account and is holding it for ransom. They provided a whatsapp phone# to reach them to get it back. Working with IG to try to recover but this is frustrating and scary. How did they bypass our 2-step authorization? gb whatsapp

If I am not wrong then the Instagram account is linked to your Facebook account.

Ummmm you are responding to a thread that was from December 2021. I think the issue has been resolved.
