The only thing you can and need to do, is picking a strong password and keep it safe.
And obviously, be aware to phishing when you login to instagram viewers/other services that asks for login with your instagram account.
 
you need a strong password a password not stupid like god,love,kiss

you need really to go the Microsoft way.

I was told use upper case and lower case and numbers and if smart also throw in a special symbol.

example

R_Da44o) <<< to me it means redarow to you god knows but a very strong password lol

all you need to remember.

uppercase lowercase numbers and symbol
like my example above

a brute force hacker who into password hacking will try.
love,god,money,home,mum,dad ect ect ect.

You will only get your account hacked if you do something stupid.

-Strong password on both IG and email linked to IG
-Enable 2fa on email linked to IG
-Link facebook to IG
-Don't login to suspicious websites/phishers
 
What amazes me is web companies that set a maximum limit for passwords.... like "your password must be 8-12 characters"
For example using brute force, assuming a dictionary attack too,

printer
would take 0.1 seconds to crack

printerprinter
would take 2 years to crack

printerprinterprinter
would take 16,430,000,000 years to crack

would take 7,938,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to crack

This way you can use easy to remember words and still have massive security.

Simplest way to remember a good password is double or triple an easy phrase or word...
 
Thank You Guys For All of your Output! This is a Great Help for Us! :)
 
Another tip: If you have an account that's worth a lot to you (eg. lots of followers or something that makes you cash on the daily) then don't publicize your account in the forums.

I've seen a lot of big accounts get hacked or banned because of this.
 
If someone knows your email that is linked to the account, change it
