Security researchers have discovered some malicious applications on Android Google Play Store as well as iOS App Store, which are entirely a hoax, targeting Instagram users. Both the apps are developed by the same developer who created the malicious “” app for Android and iOS platform late last year that secretly stole users’ Instagram credentials. The attacker will then use those credentials later to secretly log on and take full control of the hacked Instagram accounts and post spams on the user’s behalf. The malicious apps abuse the authentication process to connect to Instagram and steal user’s Instagram username and password.
