In some cases, hackers changed the associated email to one with Russia&#8217;s .ru domain.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram-press.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/14\/issue-affecting-access-to-instagram-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said in a blog post on Tuesday that it is investigating<\/a>\u00a0the issue, and advised users to keep a strong password.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one user complaining that her account email has changed. Her profile picture was also changed to a film still:<\/p>\n<p>According to Mashable, there have been tweets about the hack from 899 accounts on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple users complained that Instagram isn&#8217;t doing enough to help them. Because their login credentials have changed, it&#8217;s difficult for the users to recover their accounts.<\/p>\n<p>In its blog, Instagram wrote: &#8220;We are aware that some people are having difficulty accessing their Instagram accounts.&#8221; The company pointed users to its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/help.instagram.com\/368191326593075\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow

added in a statement that the company tries to provide a safe environment for users. &#8220;When we become aware of an account that has been compromised, we shut off access to the account and the people who&#8217;ve been affected are put through a remediation process so they can reset their password and take other necessary steps to secure their account,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<div
