Someone or some people are consistently trying to hack my Instagram. I keep getting emails that say:
“We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with logging in to Instagram. We’ve received a message that you’ve forgotten your password. If this was you, you can get straight back into your account or reset your password now.”
What should I do. It’s so annoying and I have two factor authentication turned on as well.
Change your password to something strong and keep 2 step on. Changing passwords every few months is a good move.
Make your password a combo of letters numbers and symbols
That crap is so annoying. I’ve gotten a few login attempt emails that ppl are trying to access my Google account from Malaysia.
My advice would be to keep changing your password every so often.
They are probably not targeting you personally, i get those. Its more likely a phishing exercise where they mass mail.
Just never click on the links, and you can usually tell by the email header its dodgy.
Change your visible username. You can do that on instagram.
If attempts still don’t stop, most probably the culprit is somebody from your friends list. Yuck…
My Instagram account is my first name so I’d like to keep it but I suspect that’s why it’s happening. I once had someone message me on there asking if they can have my username.
My alternate fb account got hacked and I got an email that said the account will be closed in 30days for inappropriate posts. Last login was from Sweden. I didn’t bother contacting fb to recover it as I don’t need it.
There is an American actress with the exact same first and last name as my daughter. She has been after my daughter’s Internet domain for about twelve years now as my daughter has firstnamelastname.com as her domain. She has even launched and lost two squatting disputes over it. She is also after my daughter’s social media accounts for the same reason. I think FB has blocked her from more disputes and she is also blocked from further domain disputes.
She basically wants the username probably trying it… I know how annoying it is. I also have firstname.com.
Good thing your daughter stood her ground. Some Hollywood celebs think too high of themselves.
