The leak may be responsible for Instagram users receiving plenty of emails requesting a password reset.

    points to head can’t have your data breached if you never used Instagram in the first place

      Hate to break it to you, but Facebook (ahem, sorry Meta) loves collecting your info even if you never use their services. So your info might be in this breach, even if you don’t have a username/password.

      I remember trying to set up an Instagram account ages ago and not being able to do it because the app didn’t work on Android. Gave up after that.
