Up to 17.5 million Instagram accounts may have been affected by a data breach, exposing sensitive information such as usernames, physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Hackers could potentially use this information to access users’ accounts. Cybersecurity company Malwarebytes, which first reported the breach, recommends that users update their passwords or enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Be cautious, though, and avoid clicking on unexpected password reset emails.
