Instagram Vulnerability Allows Bad Actors to Access User Phone Numbers and Names
While I don't use Instagram, I'm very much aware of how popular it is and how many people have an IG account. This morning I came across an article from Forbes regarding a vulnerability in Instagram, that allows for individuals to obtain user's name and phone numbers. I can sum up the issue as best as I can, but Zak Doffman goes in great detail and does an excellent job of going into all the details:
If I had to sum up the vulnerability as quickly as possible: bad actors can use an algorithm to brute force Instagram's login form, and combined with exploiting Instagram's "Sync Contact" feature, is able to obtain a list of user full names and their phone numbers. The issue is much more complex than can be summed up in a single sentence, so I highly recommend reading Zak Doffman's article (linked above in the image).
