With 80% of the UK population using at least one social media platform daily, it is no wonder we are the 2nd most targeted country in the world for social media scams.

Most recently, hackers have compromised Instagram users personal profiles by replacing all the existing images on said profile with 'Adult Content'. The aim being that when an individual clicks on the 'adult content' image (you have to select an image in order to enlarge it on Instagram) malware is then downloaded onto that users machine granting the hackers remote access to the endpoint.

A statement from an Instagram spokesperson on the recent hacking events was as follows: “The safety and security of the Instagram community is our top priority. We encourage anyone who thinks their account has been hacked to report it to us immediately via our help centre. We have a dedicated, global team who respond to these reports twenty-four hours a day and who work quickly to return the account to the rightful owner. We also advise people to secure their account with a strong password and remove access to any third party apps.”
