Hi all. This is my first post so sorry in advance if I stuff up!
Recently, there has been a group of hackers targeting Aviation accounts in social media sites, in particular Instagram. These include planespotters, Virtual airlines and Flight simmers, just to name a few. In the last 3-4 days, many accounts have been targeted. Today alone 10-15 accounts were hacked. Although none of my accounts were hacked, I know of people who had theirs hacked, and I am warning people to secure their accounts with strong passwords. Although many people are going private and changing usernames, I am not because this is letting the hackers win. I thought I would post this on the forum so that you all are aware and can take steps to secure your own accounts.
Happy Flying!
