A data breach has exposed sensitive information from about 17.5 million Instagram accounts, including usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses. This information is being traded on the dark web, raising risks for identity theft and phishing attacks. Users are advised to enable two-factor authentication and change their passwords.

Instagram recently addressed a problem where users received unsolicited password reset emails triggered by an external party. The company insists there was no breach, despite reports of personal data from millions of accounts being available on the dark web.

Raj Gokal, co-founder of Solana, had his personal information leaked on the compromised Instagram account of hip-hop group Migos. The breach included sensitive photos and a potential blackmail threat, with a post suggesting Gokal should have paid 40 BTC to avoid the leak. The posts were removed after over an hour of being online.
