My Instagram got hacked


Multiple pictures: The new feature opens up a whole new dimension for Instagram's 600 million+ active daily users who might want to tell a visual story or provide how-to guides.

I AM constantly on Instagram – it’s my version of thumb twiddling. Nothing to do? Check Instagram for what’s new. Long queue? Instagram. See something interesting? Share it on Instagram, of course. So I was about to unwind via Instagram after a hectic Sunday when I saw that I was logged out of my account.

I tried numerous times, even doubting myself and switching passwords to no avail. After about six hours of intermittently trying to log on, I could no longer locate my account – @indra72 no longer existed. After frantically searching, I found it and it now had a ­different user name and the profile photo wasn’t of me but a blonde bombshell! All my photos were still intact though.
