#CYBERNEWS: A major Instagram app bug could've given hackers remote access to your phone! Instagram's Android app had a critical vulnerability that allowed hackers to remotely take control over a targeted device simply by sending victims a specially crafted image.
The flaw allows the device to be a tool for spying along with letting attackers into the victim's private messages and even deleting or posting photos from their accounts.
A patch update from Facebook was released six months ago to address the vulnerability and public discolsure has been delayed until now to allow the majority of Instagram's users to update the app, thereby mitigating the risk this vulnerability may introduce.
The attack is another reminder of how important it is to update ALL of your apps regularly and to be mindful of what permissions are granted through them.

Major security concerns are happening in Florida. This is not the typical prospect we would think a hacker is going after but the repercussions could be catastrophic. "The important thing is to put everyone on notice and I think that’s really the purpose of today is to make sure that everyone realizes that these bad actors are out there".
An important takeaway is to never think you or your company can't be the victim of a cyber-attack. Take your cybersecurity very seriously and be prepared. Stay cyber-safe!
