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

    Oh is that what it was 😄

    There’s an account that I haven’t used in years, which gets a “Are you trying to log in?” email every few months.

    I got 6 emails at once the other day, figured it was the same junk

      I was wondering about that, because I got a several over the course of a few days. I finally limited it to prohibit any lost password requests from unknown devices just to get it to stfu. I don’t even use IG anymore, anyway.

    My SO just got locked out of her account. That have to verify their age to unlock it & nobody has gotten back to them. They are locked out of ALL of meta.

    Interesting. I deleted my account fully about 2 years ago at this point. I wonder if they still had enough of my data around to be in the breach
