According to Instagram user @funny_african_pics, the hacker hacking into accounts of Nigerian celebrities on Instagram has finally being caught. The alleged hacker was identify as music promoter, performer and PR personality @baudex . Details of how he was napped below.....
"We got tired of people trying to hack our account, so we decided to get a scapegoat today.
Image 1: We got an email, purportedly from Instagram, saying we should click on a link to get verfied. We knew outrightly this was a phishing email, so we clicked on this link on an isolated computer to see where it'd lead us to. The link led us to Instagrams.org.uk
Image 2: Next thought train was .. who owns the website instagrams.org.uk? Thanks to the almighty 'whois' tool, you can find out who owns what website provided the registrant's name hasn't been hidden. From the whois, we got the IP address of the website, alongside registrant's name. The name looked a bit fishy, so we decided to check the other websites, owned by the fraudster who owns instagrams.org.uk
Image 3: We did this to get other websites owned by the fraudster and lo and behold, we saw Huzzle Inc and Baudex.
So we finally got our scapegoat today >> @Baudex
Guys, there are some basic precautionary measures you need to take in securing your social media accounts.
1: Do not use the same passawords twice (i.e your email password as your Instagram password)
2: Do not click on links you are not sure of
3: No reputable organization would ask for your password via email
4: Before you login on any website, look at the link carefully
5: Treat your passwords like your under wears.. don't share with anyone.
