Instagram users are getting hacked and in addition to their passwords being changed; profile pictures are being switched to animated Disney characters. The hackers then change the email address to a Russian .ru domain to completely lock them out. This leaves the user to complain on Twitter about the loss of their account. Some users have had their entire Instagram lives deleted. Instagram has a list of recommended security protocols for affected account holders to follow including the deletion of spyware apps on their phones.
In its blog, Instagram wrote: "We are aware that some people are having difficulty accessing their Instagram accounts." The company pointed users to its guidance on hacked accounts and said people should revoke any suspicious third-party apps that might have access to their accounts.
