Facebook Had a Bug That Exposed Instagram Users Personal Email ID and Birthday, Researcher Claims

Facebook Had a Bug That Exposed Instagram Users Personal Email ID and Birthday, Researcher Claims FOLLOW US ON: Facebook-owned Instagram was hit by a bug that reportedly revealed users private information such as email ID and birthday. At the time of signing up, the social media platform promises users that their contact info and date of birth would not be disclosed for security reasons. According to The Verge citing security researcher Saugat Pokharel, the bug was exploitable by Facebook business accounts that were given access to an experimental feature that Instagram was testing. The report adds that bad actors, in this case, could leverage the Facebook Business Suite tool that is available to business accounts, to view information such as date of birth and email address. Although this personal data might seem insignificant, if accessed, attackers could carry out phishing scams or run other malicious campaigns that can even compromise the device.

A Facebook Bug Exposed Instagram Users Personal Info

Security researcher Saugat Pokharel has discovered a bug that can expose an Instagram user’s personal information to attackers. The bug was patched once it was reported to Facebook, but it was exploitable by business accounts that were given special access thanks to a new feature that Facebook was testing. The company was testing an experimental feature that would allow business accounts to link to Instagram and view someone’s supposedly private information using the Business Suite tool. All they had to do was to send a direct message on Instagram to call up the information. This would show a person’s additional information alongside any direct message.
