Fake Instagram Login Page Stealing Passwords

A fake website is pretending to be Instagram to trick people into entering their username and password, which are then stolen by criminals. Children and teens who use Instagram are at risk if they click a link leading to this page.

What to do: Warn your kids never to click Instagram links sent via messages or posts — always go directly to instagram.com in the browser, and enable two-factor authentication on their account.

What this means for your family

Criminals are creating fake Instagram login pages to steal passwords from kids and teens. If your child clicks a suspicious link and enters their login info, someone could access their account, contact their friends, or share embarrassing content. Teach them to always type instagram.com directly into the browser instead of clicking links, and turn on two-factor authentication for extra protection.
