My Instagram account has been hacked.

Received and email reset which turned out to be bogus. Foolishly used it without checking and I think that is how they got in.

They have changed the email and password. I have emailed Instagram, Facebook and the Instagram page on Facebook.

No response from any! Hoping someone has some advice or can help?

Cheers,

Patrick

Hey Patrick, same thing happened to me 2013 and I've been trying to get my account back since then. So far... not a single reply from Instagram support. Pisses me off everytime this crosses my mind.

Wow! That's schocking! Hmm something has to be done to improve this. Know anyone else who has suffered this?
