Hi,
Posting this in case anyone can help my friend.
Today my friend woke up to no access to his Instagram account @hacker, turns out someone (likely a corrupt instagram employee) took over his account somehow, skipping 2 factor authentication and all security measures, after that he proceeded to change the email and login details leaving my friend logged out of his own account.
He has owned the @hacker Instagram account for many many years, and it’s pretty sad someone would do this, knowing obviously the handle is important to my friend.
Once the person who stole the account had access, he proceeded to use some kind of service to swap the username onto another account, probably because they suspected my friend would be able to get it back.
Person who stole the account: https://www.instagram.com/hacker
My friend (victim of attack): https://www.instagram.com/hacker.bye.habibi
If anyone knows someone at IG who can look into fraud cases or who can help him with this please reach out to me in DMs or I can give you my friends contact.
