99% of the time I am on an iPhone, the other 1% (which is generally right after I have been hacked) is on a fully updated MacOS install.

I think the stealing of my domain was a bit of social engineering by a hacker (not somebody at FB).

Now, my account gets taken without any noticeable trace on my end. No security emails, no suspicious login attempts, nada...

Ask HN: How does my Instagram keep getting compromised?

I was an early Instagram user and got my nickname as my handle and I keep getting either locked out of my account or compromised altogether.Over the years, hackers have tried a number of things to steal my handle and I can usually tell how they get in.

This works when Amazon picks a bike shop to do the assembly but often times they use independent contractors that have absolutely no clue how to assemble bikes. I've seen forks put on backwards, handlebars upside-down, real nightmares.
