Expert Opinion

Watch out for any unexpected Instagram verification codes popping up on your phone—especially if you don’t even use the platform. These messages are classic phishing attempts that try to trick you into sharing login details or installing malicious apps. Never enter your credentials in response to a text, call, or WhatsApp message from an unknown number. If you receive a code, treat it as a red flag and report the number to your carrier or to platforms like Instagram. Enable two‑factor authentication, use a password manager, and consider a reputable anti‑spam filter to keep such spoofed alerts at bay.
