Instagram account hacked.
My Instagram account was hacked yesterday. Some person changed my e-mail for his own. Maybe it's a mistake when you open Facebook Reels that lead to Instagram. I surf confident for having F-secure. Is there any form of protection against this ?I send the mail I received from Instagram warning me of the fact.
