Instagram password reset surge: Protect your account
- A surge of Instagram password reset emails is being reported, with many users seeing unsolicited messages.
- The emails can be real because attackers trigger Instagram's legitimate password reset flow.
- Experts say this is classic social engineering aimed at creating urgency to push clicks.
- If you receive a reset email, use official app paths and review security settings instead of clicking links.
- Two-factor authentication is recommended to block account takeovers.
- Review login activity and look for unknown devices or changes in security settings in the app.
- If you suspect compromise, change passwords on linked accounts and ensure strong, unique credentials.
- Security experts advise enabling device-specific protections and using password managers.
- Users are urged to be cautious of follow-up scams after initial surge.
