According to BlockBeats, a data breach on Instagram has exposed sensitive information of approximately 17.5 million users, including usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses. The compromised data has reportedly been sold on the dark web and may be used for phishing attacks and account takeovers. Malwarebytes, a security company, suggests the incident might be linked to an API exposure issue from Instagram in 2024. Affected users have been receiving frequent password reset emails. As of now, Meta has not issued an official response. Security experts recommend users enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and change their passwords to enhance account security.#Instagram #DataBreach #SensitiveInformation #Users #Security #DarkWeb #PhishingAttacks #Malware #APIExposure #Meta #PasswordReset #TwoFactorAuthentication #AccountSecurity
