Vulnerability in instagram exposes user data

It is well known that Facebook does not stand out for the good treatment or protection of user data. This problem also extends to Instagram. Since the application has suffered a serious vulnerability that has exposed users' personal data. Among them, data such as telephone number, email or account name or username have been filtered.

Vulnerability in Instagram exposes user data

The social network has recognized this vulnerability and said to work on its solution. Although at the moment we do not know if it has already been completely covered and the risk has passed.

Serious failure

According to security researchers, the social network asked for a time before the disclosure of this vulnerability, so that they could fix this problem. It seems that it has partly happened, although Instagram has not given any additional reaction. What has been known is that so far there is no evidence that there is data that has been used for malicious purposes.

So despite the vulnerability, which was severe, there would have been no problems. Although the data of many users has been exposed and it was easy to access them. But it is not something that has yet been confirmed 100%.

What is clear is that the social network still does not have security and privacy in order. So problems like this, which allow the private data of Instagram users to be exposed will continue to occur. Scandals continue to accumulate for the company.
