This time, it was photo sharing app Instagram who have to pick up the pieces are hackers have accessed details of celeb users.
The social network, which is owned by Facebook believes that Âone or more hackers has gained access to information from verified accounts.
An account is verified if it is essential the user to deemed to be the person they are claiming to be. Therefore, the majority of verified accounts are held by public figures or celebrities.
Instagram have released a statement to say that passwords have not been stolen but holder of verified Instagram accounts have been warned to keep an eye out for any suspicious account activity.
It is thought the hackers have obtained email addresses and phone numbers from prominent figures in the cyber-attack.
It is not clear which accounts have been affected or how the hack took place but it is thought it was achieved through a bug in InstagramÂs own software.
Instagram is one of the worldÂs most used social networks with over 500 million users worldwide, if it is proven this hack was possible due to InstagramÂs own neglect of a bug, we may see this social favourite fall out of favour.
