Instagram Accounts Targeted: Copyright Scams and Extortion Schemes Rise
Behind the polished corners of Instagram's creative world, a darker transaction is unfolding. Large account holders are being hit with false copyright claims, then pressured to pay ransoms to make the strikes disappear. It's a sleek, unsettling twist on extortion, dressed in the platform's own legal tools. The artistry that once defined these spaces now feels like leverage. We're watching trust get weaponized, and that should give every curator pause.
Unsecured Database Exposes Millions of Faces, Raising Privacy Concerns.
Millions of faces are floating in an unsecured database, exposed by a website designed to identify strangers from a single photo.
