  • Hacked Instagram! Locked down, cannot upload photos or video.

    Unbelievable. Long story but my ig was hacked – filled my timeline up with dollybirds I was supposedly following, my chat was going freaky (I was actually ‘conversing’ with some sex scammer) added loads of same awful airheads in my saved photos, changed my name to Craig Leggitt! I followed all instructions to change pass, enable two factor, spot suspicious app sharing etc etc. Thought that was all sorted. Guess what? I can’t upload either a vid or pic on ig.

    I can still comment fwiw.

    I hardly ever use instagram but was seeing loads of these dreadful narcissists on my timeline and that’s why I stopped bothering without really realising. It would have made no difference.

    PLEASE someone help me resolve this! Eternally grateful. Thanks for listening.

    Hello!
    Let’s see if I got this right: you still have access to your Instagram account? If you still do and 2FA is activated, you might have a malware on your device.

    Check any device you use to login to Instagram and scan with Malwarebytes.
