Forums General Chit-Chat my instagram got hacked :/
I only have like 9 pictures of my puppy on there but apparently that is prime hacking material :/ idk what they possibly get out of doing it.
@sunny: thats so weird, did you manage to get back into your account?
call me grem
they/them

@nyreen: it is weird, and kinda freaked me out when I found out :o I haven't got it back yet, I have to write what happened to customer service and hopefully they will take my side :/ I have no idea how it could have happened :/
Ohhhh, I hope for your sake that password and email address combo aren't used for anything important

@Robyn: I actually signed up using my mobile phone number which is... worrying :/
@Robyn: I only ever answer the phone to known phone numbers so they're pretty much talking to a brick wall but it's still annoying :S
I sighed up for an instragram to use for my art. I hadn't even posted anything in it yet and someone apparently had logged in and tried to change information. I managed to get it back and put better account protection on it and changed the password.
What a pain. :( I hope you can get it back!

@tehrin: Omg does instagram have even the slightest site protection???
I hope so too. I literally only post pics of my puppy like once a week so it's not like the account is super valuable or anything :/

It's weird because my main Insta has never been hacked. But I signed up using my main email and I may have used a password that's been associated with it before. Likely it's going around in one of those lists. Literally within a day, I got an email about it.
I try to two-factor authenticate anything if I can.

@tehrin: this is the first time I've bothered to use instagram (I literally don't use social media) so I'm really unsavvy when it comes to things like this :o I haven't had any weird calls so far, touch wood.
currently: new novel who dis?

@sunny: Fingers crossed for you!
Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!
What in the world is even the point of hacking an IG account? I mean, it's pictures. It's not posts, there's no money involved ...
We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
@sunny: Oooo, I think you could block unknown numbers as a setting anyway.. And hope its not important. x.x
Just chillin'
