New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How does my Instagram keep getting compromised?

Ask HN: How does my Instagram keep getting compromised?
10 by china | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I was an early Instagram user and got my nickname as my handle and I keep getting either locked out of my account or compromised altogether. Over the years, hackers have tried a number of things to steal my handle and I can usually tell how they get in. These days, I have no idea. I've been SIM swapped a handful of times. One time a hacker faxed a fake ID to Godaddy to try and swap out my domain to gain control of my email (they were successful). Now, I will try to log in to my account and will just be locked out. The email I created specifically for Instagram is not recognized, and there is no way to reset my password. I have two-factor auth on, I don't use the same password anywhere else, I change it regularly, etc. My current theory is there is some employee at Meta that's ultimately stealing the account. Does anybody have any idea how they're hacking me? PS: the worst part about all this is in order to get the handle back, I have to pull strings with folks I know at Meta, for a normal user, they would have absolutely no way of regaining access...
