Oh good lord, not again.
It’s just they want to create a scenario that oh we had breach instead of we selectively share your data with palantir
I stopped using most social media after reading Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now by Jaron Lanier and have not regrets about it.
So that’s why I’ve gotten two emails saying someone requested a change of password…
Was it the reason why I got password reset notification this morning?
Thought so, had 2 attempts on my Instagram account the past 2-3 days, lucky I had 2FA on and they couldn’t get in
In the last two days I have been getting an email from Instagram saying someone requested a “Password reset” at 3AM…
I barley use ig but I got a notification for a reset password this morning. Immediately deleted my account.
Easy fix: delete that trash
Your data is sold/stolen every day. Only way to protect yourself is to abstain from using the apps and even then some risk is always unavoidable
Does anyone else notice that we read about a new leak of highly sensitive data like every fifteen minutes every single day?
Darn it, can we get compensate from them? Since they leak us?
Oh good. At least that explains why I’ve been getting the password reset emails.
Go make sure your IG account isn’t reusing passwords
Meta is a truly evil company.
You don’t need Instagram or Facebook in your life.
Close your accounts and don’t look back.
This probably happened yesterday, I got 3 password change emails in an hour. My Instagram handle starts with A so I was probably near the top of the list
PSA: if you’re not using two step verification, you should.
Passkeys are an alternative.
My 2SV is there as a fallback in case my password does get leaked out.
I also use Ente Auth (because they’re cross platform, sync together between my phone and computer, and the app lets me export my backup codes in case I want to use another app in the future…which probably won’t happen, but you never know).
Good thing I dropped that trash.
That explains why I have gotten emails on Thursday and Friday saying “We got a request to reset your Instagram password”
It says if I ignore the email my password will not be changed.
Is there a public database to check? Like https://haveibeenpwned.com/?
That would explain why my account recently got tons of password request!
And now getting a password reset email randomly the other day makes sense. Crazy they wait 2 days to announce it.
I’ve been getting “we received a request to log in” emails from “instagram” the past few days >click ignore
Lots of leaks..decades of it..just say you’re selling it and cut us cheques..
How do I check if I have been compromised?
Can’t wait to get my $5 on a visa gift card and free credit monitoring following a class action lawsuit in 3 years as compensation for this
Must have been mine. I keep getting emails about someone trying to gain access
“Data Leak” or “Under the Table Data Sale”?
huh I got a random password reset request from instagram today, was wondering what that was
