I nstagram is the platform par excellence for so-called influencers. People who manage to amass huge legions of fans who buy the products and services they promote in their posts on the social network. Now a database has been found in which we find the data of millions of influencers. Some data that has also been exposed and is accessible.

The data of millions of Instagram influencers have been exposed

This data was stored in Amazon Web Services. In addition, it was not necessary to use any authentication key to enter them. What has facilitated access to them.

Millions of data exposed

A total of 49 million records have been recorded in this database. There was all kinds of data about these users on Instagram. From information about verified accounts, email, location, phone number, number of followers or bio data of each user. We do not know if the accounts of these people have been accessed, although it does not seem so at the moment.

The owners of this database are a marketing firm in India. This is Chtrbox, which is the information that researchers have managed to track. Apparently this company pays influencers to publish sponsored content on their accounts.

This information in the database has data on well-known influencers. Although for now nothing has been said about names. So it doesn't seem like we're going to know. But without a doubt, it is something that affects many accounts on Instagram.
