It has been revealed that personal information of 17.5 million users on Instagram has been leaked. The attackers obtained full names, account names, verified email addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, and country/location information. The most concerning point: this stolen data set is actively circulating on dark web forums. Such large-scale data breaches make users vulnerable to identity theft, social engineering attacks, and financial fraud. From a crypto investor's perspective, these types of information leaks can lead to targeted phishing campaigns. It is strongly recommended to use two-factor authentication to protect your accounts.

17.5 million user data leaked and all went to the dark web. Instagram really went all out this time; my friend's coins almost got wiped out.

17.5m insta profiles compromised and we're still out here acting surprised lol... opportunity cost of not running 2FA is honestly insane when you do the math on potential losses

17.5 million user data compromised, and it's still spreading on the dark web... This time we really went big, our circle needs to be more cautious. Phishing is here, you really need to enable 2FA, or just wait to be exploited. Your phone number is leaked? Oh my, this makes social engineering much easier. Who can still claim their account is safe?
