In addition, although this account is not public , it is also found through the above information that this account has not posted any posts at all. These are all obvious characteristics of fake accounts.

The picture on the right is another account "elitefromhelpteam" that we found that tried to impersonate IG. In addition to the above features, this account also has the same account. Both accounts directly state in the self-referral field that if there is any major notification, they will be notified by private message. Attempt to gain trust from those who have already received the message

Remind everyone, don't be fooled by the large number of fans on these accounts! The number of these fans may be people who have been deceived before, or the fraudulent groups are pouring water on each other, or they are operated by others, and they have a large number of fans and then sell them to the accounts of the fraudulent groups. many practical cases

The "objection form" is actually a phishing website

If you receive the fake IG private message, and click the objection form at the end of the message as instructed, you will be taken to a phishing website with a big " Copyright Violation " written on the first page and threaten users with The account will be deleted within 24 hours. If there is any objection, please follow the steps in the form.

There is no doubt that this website is actually trying to defraud the user's login account password . Although filling in the user name seems reasonable at the beginning, the next step is to ask you to enter your own password (I have said many times, do not enter it arbitrarily password!)

Although you encounter IG phishing, the fraudulent groups will also use this set of accounts and passwords to try to log in to other platforms, and you will be stolen. may be more than just Instagram

How to protect your IG account

1. Enable Two-Factor Verification

Enabling two-factor authentication will make it more troublesome to log in, but every time you log in on a new device, you will be asked to enter a verification code, which will greatly improve your account security. After all, it may be very simple for fraudsters to obtain your account password , but it will be very difficult to get the dynamic verification code that your mobile phone is currently receiving at the same time

On IG you can choose to use another verification app (such as Google Authenticator), WhatsApp or backup verification code as your two-factor verification

When you set up two-factor authentication, also check the " Trusted Devices " at the bottom! The account here has been recognized as a safe device by IG, so it will not require two-factor authentication again, and there is no need to log in again and again, so it is recommended that you come in and confirm whether the devices here belong to you. Yes, it will show here Device model, last login time and city, if there is a device that does not appear to be yours, or a device you have transferred to others, it is recommended to remove it

2. Use fraud prevention experts to find phishing websites

It is recommended that you do not rush to click on any uncertain link when you see it. It may be a phishing website that looks like the official website, or it may be a download link with a malicious program.

It is best to copy the suspicious link and pass it to the anti-fraud expert . We will immediately help you identify whether this website has been marked as a dangerous link. If so, don't click on it.

3. IG backs up all data

If you have been running an IG for a long time, and there are bits and pieces of your life in it, as well as the interaction process between fans and you, then of course you don’t want to disappear suddenly due to any factors!

You can get into the habit of backing up your IG data every once in a while. You can save all your current IG data with just a few buttons, including posts, chat records, search records, friend lists, profile information, likes and comments…

Then slide down the page to find "Data Download". After confirming the email and file format you want to receive the data file, you can quietly wait for the data to be delivered.
