On July 19, there was an Instagram Hacker APK v 3.7.2 58 release on the Google Play Store. The hacker, which was first noticed by security firm Check Point back in October of 2017, has now infected up to 50 million devices worldwide that run the operating systems Android 4 and 5 (Jelly Bean) or higher that still use vulnerable versions of the Facebook app. The hack essentially replaces the victim's account information with counterfeit information, which enables all content posted by the user to be tampered with. The hack is actually one of many, as it's part of an ongoing problem that has long plagued the social media giant. The Instagram Hacker APK v 3.7.2 58 uses Facebook's open APIs, which are designed for developers to access and modify the data stored on Facebook servers for various reasons. While there are many legitimate reasons why these APIs can be used, many malicious actors have also figured out how to abuse them. The hack that is seen here has remained relatively unchanged since its discovery in 2017 until its latest update that was released in July 2018. In the past, the Facebook API had been integrated into other apps and malware in an attempt to make money by secretly obtaining user data or stealing that data and then selling it on the black market. The Instagram Hacker APK v 3.7.2 58 hack masquerades as a popular Android app called "Instagram Hacker" and uses a similar tactic to trick victims into downloading it and opening their Facebook profiles. The hack can be carried out at any time by anyone, but Check Point believes that only organized cyber criminals will attempt such a wide-scale attack so they can establish a long-term foothold in at least one major social media app for future attacks. Once the hacker has access to the victim's Facebook account, they can do anything to it. They can post anything they want on behalf of the user, steal their photos and videos, change their email address and password, delete them entirely, view photos and information shared via private messages and more. Most users will have no idea that an intruder is in control of their Facebook profile until they try to log back in. They won't be able to because a hacker controls the login information now. So victims will have no choice but to go through a lengthy process to regain control of their accounts again. The hack works for both Android and iOS users. The best way to protect yourself against this hack is to only download the official Facebook app, which is entirely safe. To avoid becoming a victim of the Instagram Hacker APK v 3.7.2 58, users can also uninstall unwanted apps that are not from Google Play Store. Users should also make sure that they are downloading software from legitimate sources where possible instead of offer walls or other random download pages. Another measure that can be taken to protect the user is to enable VPNs on their device, which will provide an extra layer of security by hiding their IP address and encrypting all transmitted data so cyber criminals won't be able to track it back. cfa1e77820
