Instagram ‘Help Center’ Phishing Scam Pilfers Credentials

Turkish-speaking cybercriminals are sending Instagram users seemingly legitimate messages from the social media company, with the aim of stealing their Instagram and email credentials. They pretend to be the Instagram Help Center and claim that a copyright violation complaint has been filed against the account owner and that their account is now at risk of being deleted. Researchers said that the campaign has been targeting hundreds of celebrities, startup business owners, and other entities with sizeable followings on Instagram. Researchers advised Instagram users to be cautious of seemingly legitimate sites that request account credentials for another site.
