Beware of InstaAgent, it steals your Instagram password

As many of you will know InstaAgent is an application that connects to our Instagram account and promises us to keep track of which users enter our Instagram account to view our profile. However, it seems that the application saves our profile and our password on a suspicious server. It has been a developer who has discovered this security breach, as InstaAgent access our password and username, and unauthorized photo publications are being detected and illegitimate logins in the accounts of the people who use this application.

Something quite curious, since Instagram does not allow third-party clients to upload photos to its social network, however, this malicious application is not so popular, it has affected between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand users only between the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom through Google Play. Nevertheless, the application is also available in the iOS App Store, this is what really concerns us. Third-party clients for our social networks that promise us functions of this type usually have similar consequences, users should be more suspicious of this type of free applications, but unfortunately many do not take sufficient security measures and many times we are ourselves who grant permissions to applications to steal in a consensual way.

So if you use InstaAgent you have time to eliminate it, if you do not use it, you have time not to download it, although there are many users who are curious and prefer to take risks, in order to take advantage of those illegitimate functions that this third-party client promises. From Actualidad iPhone We recommend you skip these applications, and from social network clients that are not official or have a considerable reputation, such as Tweetboot in the case of Twitter.
