[DS Notes] Instagram Accounts Hacked, Sending Photos of Fruits

Middle of the night, weekend, what a time to take over Instagram accounts right? If you received an email from Instagram informing you that your account may have been compromised, it’s most likely real. GigaOm reports that a large scale hack has hit Instagram as of several hours ago and all the hacked accounts had been posting photos of fruits. If you’re seeing lots and lots of fruit photos on your Instagram timeline along with a bitly link to some fake BBC website, or worse, seeing them on your own account, chances are you’re seeing hacked accounts.  Right now though, those photos seem to have been removed by Instagram already but if you got that password reset email, go to Instagram.com from your computer and reset your password.
