Facebook patches a security vulnerability in Instagram, which helped attackers access the details linked to individual accounts

Facebook has conceded that a security vulnerability in Instagram has put users data at risk, leaving Instagrammers on the line of cyber-attacks, reported Forbes. The vulnerability was flagged by an Israeli hacker who goes by the Twitter handle @ZHacker13.
The Israeli hacker was successful in harvesting user data that was supposed to be secure, said the report.

Synopsys senior security strategist Jonathan Knudsen said he considers this as a good development when it comes to data security in social media.

"Software security is an organisational skill. No matter how good you are, there's always room for improvement. The fact that the reported vulnerability in Instagram is ‘complex’ to exploit is actually a good indication," he said.
