Hacker Stole Information from High-Profile Instagram Accounts

Instagram said at least one hacker was able to steal personal information from high-profile user accounts, blaming the breach on a bug in its system that has now been fixed. “We recently discovered that one or more individuals obtained unlawful access to a number of high-profile Instagram users’ contact information -- specifically email address and phone number -- by exploiting a bug in an Instagram API,” a rep said in a statement.
