Instagram hackers may just have accessed your account and you did not even know

Instagram is a popular social media platform that offers a lot of features, entertainment, and all the latest trends from fashion, news to even memes! Meta-owned Instagram has a billion or more active users. But what if your favourite app has been hacked by someone! No matter whether you are an influencer, celebrity, or a common man, there is always a possibility that your account has been hacked! There is a myth that only those users with tens of thousands of followers are likely to get hit by hackers, but that is not the case. In fact, all users are vulnerable to hacking.

Once your Instagram account is hacked that means your personal data - such as email address, phone number, photos, videos and all the possible attached details with your account could be at risk. According to Tom Gaffney, a security expert at F-Secure, an Instagram account can even be hacked even when the hacker doesn't ask the user for money. That means, without letting you know, your account can be hacked! That is a terrifying, but true prospect. Here are some warning signs that you should look out for.
