Avoid Instagram Phishing Attempts
I seen some people get “security emails” from [email protected]. Just to let you know, that email is illegitimate. I never clicked on one of these links, but I know some people have and tried “changing their password” through them. If you see one of these emails, immediately mark as spam or delete. Stay safe peeps!
Update: Sometimes that email is used by Instagram for security updates, but if the email header is unverified or doesn’t have a SSL, it is likely spoofing that email address. Also, a general rule of thumb is to never login through login or reset password links on emails and not to click them. Instead, visit the site manually to avoid risk.

Always verify under the security settings in-app that a email has been sent by Instagram – if it’s not listed, it’s a scam.
