Instagram account theft campaign ongoing says cyber agency

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 17 - An Instagram account theft campaign is ongoing in Italy, the national cyber security agency said Thursday.
    A "malicious campaign aimed at theft of Instagram users through social engineering' has been detected in recent hours by the agency for cybersecurity through CSIRT, its Incident Response Team, it said.
    As a countermeasure, it is suggested not to send codes received on one's own devices to third party users.
    In the event that someone takes over your account, the agency said, you should immediately alert your contacts via other channels to reduce the impact of the scam and activate one of the procedures for 'hacked accounts' set up by the product provider in order to regain possession of the profile.
