Previously scraped Instagram user data has resurfaced, enabling realistic phishing and account takeover attempts, underscoring the long-term risks of exposed personal information.

If you go on your Instagram app, go to your “Settings and Activity” page, then select Accounts Center. From there, tap “Password and security” and scroll down to “Security checks.” Tap “Recent emails” to see if Instagram has actually messaged you security and login emails in the past few days.

"The ability to be real, to connect, to have a voice that couldn't be faked—is now accessible to anyone," Mosseri said.
