If your Instagram account gets hacked, there are a few steps you should take immediately to regain control and minimize the damage done:
1. Report the Hack
You can report the hack to Instagram through their support center or using the “Report a hacked account” option on the login screen.
2. Change your password
Change your password immediately to lock the hacker out of your account. Ensure you use a strong and unique password that is not easily guessable.
3. Check your email & phone number.
If the Instagram account is hacked and the email and phone number change, you must regain access immediately.
Contact your email and phone providers to reset your account and update your contact information.
4. Review your account settings.
Review your account settings to check if the hacker has made any unauthorized changes, such as changing your bio or deleting your posts. You can undo any changes made by the hacker.
