[+] most cases, it's fairly straightforward to recover your account. With more than 2.4 billion active users, Instagram is the world's third most popular social network, trailing only Facebook and YouTube. Most users are between 18 and 24 years old, with the site a hotspot for influencers and marketers. Unfortunately, though, the site is popular with hackers too, who hope to steal your personal information, spread spam, scam your followers or commit harassment. Indeed, according to StationX , 85% of Instagram users have had their account compromised. We look at the signs that your Instagram account may have been hacked, and the steps you should take if you realize it has. How To Check If Your Instagram Has Been Hacked While it's bad enough to find that your Instagram account has been hacked, there may be implications for your other devices and applications too. If you've used the same password for other accounts, that gives the hackers an easy way in — and that could mean, for example, access to your banking information. Meanwhile, if you're logged into your account on multiple devices, the hackers could gain access to those too. There are a number of signs that your Instagram account has been compromised, some more obvious than others: some of the most common are unusual activity on your account, changes to your profile settings or login notifications from unfamiliar locations. Sign 1: You Can’t Log In To Your Account This is probably the clearest sign that your Instagram has been hacked — you’re unable to log in to your account. You enter your credentials, but are told they are incorrect. What's happened here is that the hackers have accessed your account and changed your password, which has the effect of locking you out. It is, though, a good idea to try logging in more than once before assuming you've been hacked, as you may simply have mistyped your user name or password. FBI Warns iPhone, Android Users—Change WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal Apps iOS 18.2 Release Date: iPhone’s New Upgrade Is Hours Away What To Know About The UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder—As NYPD Releases New Photos Of Suspect Sign 2: Unusual Activity On Your Account The first sign that you Instagram account has been compromised is often strange activity on your account. Posts, reels or stories may appear that you didn't make. Meanwhile, you may receive direct messages from accounts you don’t recognize, or your followers may start receiving strange messages, apparently from you, but which you didn't send. These messages may contain links, with the hackers hoping to persuade your followers to click on scam websites. Sign 3: Your Account Information Has Been Changed Instagram's account settings contain your name, email address and phone number — and these are one of the first things that a hacker is likely to change. Once they've done this, you can't access your account yourself, leaving them in control. If this has happened, depending on how you've set your account up, you may be alerted by a message from Instagram support, with a warning that your credentials have been changed and a link to reverse the changes. Sign 4: Login Notifications Another sign that your Instagram has been hacked is if you start to receive unexpected login notifications from unfamiliar or incorrect locations. Instagram monitors the browser and internet device activity on your account. If you receive a notification that a device you don't recognize has been accessing your account, this is a strong sign that your account has been hacked. Similarly, even if the device looks familiar, it may show up as being in a different location. You can check what devices are logged into your account by going to the Settings page. What Should You Do If Your Instagram Account Is Hacked? If you can still log in to your account, the first thing to do is to change your password right away. You should also turn on two-factor authentication immediately, to make sure they can't just do the same things again. If you can't log in, there are a number of steps you can take, depending on your type of account. If you've had a message from Instagram telling you that your email address has been changed , you may be able to reverse things by clicking the Secure my account link in the message. You can also ask the company for a login link to be sent to the email address or phone associated with your account; if you no longer have access to these, you can get help via Instagram support . You may be asked to verify your identity by sending a video of yourself. How Can You Prevent Hackings On Instagram? There are certain basic precautions that will make it much harder for hackers to access your account. First and foremost, you should activate two-factor authentication via Settings. Make sure your password is as secure as possible by including upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols — and don't use a password you've used elsewhere, or one that's easily guessable. And going forward, you should cultivate a suspicious frame of mind. Don't click on any links you're sent unless you're absolutely certain they're safe. Be cautious about linking third-party apps to your Instagram account, and check regularly which apps have access. It's also a good idea to check your login activity occasionally to make sure there haven't been any unauthorized logins. Bottom Line Discovering that your Instagram account has been hacked is always going to cause concern — and often quite a bit of hassle. But in most cases, it's fairly straightforward to recover your account, and protect it in future to minimize the chances of your account being compromised again. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Are Instagram Hackings Common? Instagram hacks, unfortunately, are pretty common — especially when it comes to creators. According to insurance firm Notch , an Instagram creator account gets hacked every 10 minutes on average, meaning that more 50,000 creator accounts get hacked every year. Overall, more than 36,222 accounts per month were hacked during 2023. This makes Instagram one of the most-hacked social media platforms. It’s particularly important to do everything you can to secure your account, including creating a secure password and turning on two-factor authentication. How Can You See Who Is Logged Into Your Instagram Account? If you’re suspicious that your Instagram account may have been compromised, you'll want to check if anybody else has been able to log in. To do this, click on the “hamburger button” — the three little vertical lines — on the bottom left of your screen, and click Settings, then Accounts Center, then Password and security. If you find any that shouldn't be there, click them, and then click Log Out. How Did Someone Hack My Phone From Instagram? Hackers use a number of methods to hack Instagram accounts. You may have used an easily-guessable password, or reused one from elsewhere to which the hackers already have access. You may have fallen for a phishing scam , and clicked on a link to a dodgy website which has downloaded malware onto your device. And if you've reused the password, or clicked on a fraudulent link, it's possible that hackers could gain access to your phone via your Instagram account. What Should You Do If Your Phone Gets Hacked? If you realize that your phone’s been hacked , there are a number of steps you can take. You should change all passwords to new, strong ones and delete any suspicious apps or unexpected messages. Take steps to secure your phone in future , including enabling two-factor authentication on all your accounts, and installing and running online protection software. And if all else fails, restore your phone to its factory settings. What Should You Do If Your Facebook Gets Hacked? If hackers have accessed your Instagram account, there’s a chance they may have compromised your Facebook too. So it's a good idea to make sure you can still access your account. If you can, you should go to Settings & Privacy, then Settings, then Password and Security and finally See All. If this reveals devices using your account that you haven't authorized, you can then remove them yourself. If you don't have access, there's a Facebook page here that should help you recover your account.Jimmy Carter, the 100-year-old former U.S. president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has passed away, according to a statement from his nonprofit organization, The Carter Center, on Sunday, 29 December 2024. Carter died peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he had been in hospice care since February 2023. He was surrounded by his family at the time of his death. Carter, who rose from humble beginnings in rural Georgia to lead the nation from 1977 to 1981, was the longest-living U.S. president and the oldest former U.S. leader. His son, Chip Carter, described his father as "a hero" who believed in peace, human rights, and selfless love. The former president had endured a tumultuous single term in office, with key moments such as the Camp David Accords, where he brokered a peace deal between Israel and Egypt, but also faced major challenges, including the Iranian hostage crisis and the 1980 oil crisis. These setbacks contributed to his loss to Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election, leaving Carter to serve only one term. However, Carter’s legacy was shaped by his significant post-presidency work, which began with the founding of The Carter Center in 1982. His efforts to promote global diplomacy, human rights, and social justice earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter also became a prominent international mediator, involved in election observation and peace efforts from North Korea to Bosnia. A devout Christian, Carter’s faith played a central role throughout his life, including in his presidency and later years. He taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains until his 90s. In recent years, Carter battled health challenges, including a diagnosis of brain cancer in 2015, but continued to defy expectations with his resilience. He is survived by his wife, Rosalynn, who passed away in November 2023 at age 96, and their four children. U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, who also serves as a pastor, expressed his condolences, praising Carter for his faith and commitment to justice. "Across life’s seasons, President Jimmy Carter, a man of great faith, has walked with God," Warnock wrote. Carter's passing marks the end of a remarkable life that touched countless individuals worldwide through his leadership, humanitarian work, and unwavering principles.
NoneAlways find yourself pulled into Green Street’s cosy vintage shop on your way to Mainsburys? Emma Jameson-Dake speaks to Goldrush’s manager Dave to learn about all things vintage After the horrors of Week 5, there’s nothing like a bit of retail therapy. When the sun’s already setting on your post-supo trek to Mainsburys, Goldrush Vintage’s glowing storefront display is more tempting than ever (and more of a threat to my dwindling bank balance!). I spoke to Goldrush’s manager, Dave, about what goes on behind the scenes. “When I started, if you wore vintage or second-hand clothes, you were a little bit alternative. Now it doesn’t seem to be like that anymore” “We opened here last December, so we’re nearly a year old now. And, yeah, it’s going good.” Dave tells me he’s been in the vintage business for over 25 years now, which he jokes is “too long”. Starting on London’s Portobello Road, he moved to Camden Town before finally settling in Cambridge, where business is thriving. “When I started, if you wore vintage or second-hand clothes, you were a little bit alternative. You were a little bit out there. You know? Now it doesn’t seem to be like that anymore”. When I ask what kind of vintage pieces he sells most often, Dave doesn’t hesitate in telling me, “it’s probably anything Carhartt”. The rail of jackets beside us is a treasure-trove of suede, leather, and wool, perfect for the winter weather. As I mention the seasonal wardrobe shift, Dave tells me “knitwear does really well in this shop which is quite surprising because other places I’ve been to, not so much, but Cambridge folk like proper knitwear [...] that you wouldn’t necessarily associate with students or young people”. It seems that the majority of customers are students, though Dave tells me this is actually only by a small margin. “We get a lot of regular people that just... like the whole vintage selling thing. It’s just like, oh, it’s a Ralph Lauren shirt. It’s 15 quid. Why wouldn’t I?” — the joys of a good bargain are evidently universal, we laugh. Goldrush certainly knows a thing or two about the joys of thrift finds; you need only see the staff wardrobes to recognise this. “My absolute favourite piece is a genuine 1977 Sex Pistols T-Shirt [...] rare as hen’s teeth”, which Dave scored for just “a fiver”. He reveals the shop is similarly a hit with school pupils and “exchange students” from France and Germany, smiling when he says that it’s nice to see “youngsters” appreciating all things vintage. It’s clear that Dave and his team value customers greatly and are always looking for the best finds for shoppers. When I ask where Goldrush sources their incredible variety of stock, the answer surprises me: it’s mostly from the States. Dave explains how 75% of stock comes from across the Atlantic, and then “we get some of the sportswear from mainland Europe, Holland mainly... track tops, track pants. There’s European workwear as well, which is completely different to the sort of American Carhartt”. Dave looks to trends for his pricing, buying in bulk and seeking out the hidden gems: “in that mix of work jackets, about a hundred work jackets, 10 are going to be Carhartt... the rest sell very well as well, but not for anywhere near as much. So you kind of have to, you know, get that little bit extra the way you can.” “So what they’re selling in Sweden now, this time next year, we’ll be selling it here.” Though it seems to me that Dave is an expert in his field by now, when I ask if he’s able to predict next season’s trends based on consumer habits, he’s bashful in admitting “I don’t necessarily spend my time looking at styles or fashion or that sort of thing” on social media, so can’t divulge much! Joking about screen time, Dave moves on to tell me that social media is far from the all-powerful style oracle: “one of my biggest suppliers has got a few shops around the place, and he’s got one in Sweden. And, he’s done it twice as long as I have. So I take a little bit of advice from him, and he always says Sweden is ahead of the curve. So what they’re selling in Sweden now, this time next year, we’ll be selling it here.” Despite the insider intel, Dave admits “it’s really difficult. I’ve done it or I’ve tried it before where you think you know what’s coming and you jump on it and you’re too early and it just doesn’t work”, citing the Carhartt jackets he’s been selling since the nineties, which only saw a boom post-lockdown. “It’s things like this, just actual vintage. You know, somebody wore that to school in 1979” Dave tells me that jackets are by far his favourite thing to sell, bringing me over to a rail bursting with history: “if the shop could be filled with this, happy days. I would love it”. The pull of these items seems unquestionable, “the thing is that it’s things like this, just actual vintage. You know, somebody wore that to school in 1979. So, I was 2”, Dave remarks, yet surprisingly reveals “this doesn’t sell. Sold one of these today, but that’s the only one I think sold this week”. We look at German fishermen’s jackets, army apparel from Korea, Vietnam, and the Second World War. The rails are heavy with history, which Dave explains makes them all the more special: “the pattern’s called Cowichan” he says, as we look at a beautiful horseshoe print cardigan which owes its pattern to “traditional Native American” culture. READ MORE Formalwear finds and the art of the thrift flip Dave is tireless in his research of clothes’ history, though divulges that nowadays, technology is offering a helping hand: “thanks to Google Lens, you don’t have to buy all the books anymore. You just snapshot it, and it tells you what it is. So that was quite interesting”. Technology holds a surprising place in the future of something so nestled in the past, and Dave is privy to the future of online shopping (spoiler alert: Vinted has new competition). Whatnot, Dave tells me, is “an American thing, and they’ve not long launched over here, and it’s livestream selling. You can start at whatever price you want, but it’s more like an auction. Fifteen seconds. And then if somebody bids, it goes up ten seconds. [...] I’ve not done one yet, but we’re going to go live with that very soon.” On the topic of the store’s future, I wryly ask Dave about the newly sprung-up competition in Cambridge. He’s humble and laughs in response, “I’m fairly new myself so I can’t get too possessive!” Speaking of large-scale chains, and the “big boys”, he admits “they’ve got a big budget, which I don’t necessarily. But no, since they opened it, to be honest, it’s been as good as ever”. There’s something about the appeal of a smaller business which we both agree on. Sustainability, for instance, is always at the forefront of Goldrush’s mind. Dave tells me that “we get very little waste in the sense of damaged product”, which accounts for around 5% of stock. Modern clothes also find their way into vintage stock bundles, which don’t sell as well. Dave puts brands like Zara, H&M and ASOS on marked-down sale rails (“it’s too good to throw away”) and reveals a further secret in the shop’s ethical sustainability: “we do donate quite a bit as well. We’ve worked with charities in Gambia”. My final question to him is about any extra secrets of the vintage store he’s willing to share: “I would say that one of the things we do that — I’m not saying the others don’t — but a lot of vintage stores don’t launder everything. [...] If it can be laundered, it’s laundered. If it can’t, such as leather or suede, it’s hand cleaned.” He’s keen to make sure the “loft style” smell of vintage shops is replaced with cleanliness in Goldrush, and certifies every item is top quality. Dave’s parting words to me are emphatic of the energy he puts into selling vintage: “if you were looking for a tracksuit top today, you went through all of them and you thought, you know, ‘there’s not one I quite like. I’ll go and check again next week or the week after.’ I want them all to be different”. There’s something for everyone to be found on the rails at Goldrush Vintage.
Major indices close higher for the trading week by the Russell 2000By Aaditya GovindRao and Roushni Nair (Reuters) – Goodman Group’s stock has been on a hot streak this year, shining bright among its Australian real-estate peers as the artificial intelligence boom has driven a frenzied demand for data centres. Global “hyperscalers”, or large-scale cloud service providers, such as Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, have been spending billions on data centres to cater to growing demand for AI services. Australia’s data-centre market, though nascent, saw outsized investment this year with Blackstone buying AirTrunk for A$24 billion ($14.91 billion) in September and developer NEXTDC raising nearly A$4.6 billion in equity and debt. Goodman, the country’s biggest property developer, counts the world’s largest hyperscalers as its customers, its website says, but the company did not confirm the identities of its customers in response to Reuters. Its inventory, however, reflects the heightened demand for these specialized facilities, with data centres under construction making up 42% of its A$12.8 billion ($7.96 billion) portfolio of projects under development at the end of September, up from 37% at the end of last year. This has sent its stock flying 45.8% higher this year, positioning Goodman for its best performance since 2006. It is also the Australian real estate index’s top performer. Higher exposure to data centres in development makes the market more comfortable paying a higher multiple for the business, said John Lockton, head of investment strategy at Sandstone Insights. “Investments into data centres continue to see momentum ... We expect this environment to continue to support Goodman – CAPEX outlook for hyperscalers implies ongoing growth for FY25.” The consensus is split on whether Goodman’s stock rise can continue. Some factions of the market highlighted that investor interest in data-centre-focused stocks has begun to cool as valuations get rich. They drew caution from landlord DigiCo Infrastructure REIT’s initial public offering this month, where it raised A$2 billion, but the stock fell 9% on debut. “We think Goodman’s securities are expensive at current prices ... we are more cautious about assuming maintainable excess returns from DC investment in the longer term,” said Winky Yingqi Tan, a Morningstar analyst focused on REITs. Tan also flagged risks of data-centre obsolescence leading to capital-intensive upgrades, and rivals adding more supply, as factors that could erode Goodman’s returns over time. Lockton, however, remains upbeat on Goodman’s prospects. He lauds its existing pipeline, and access to land with power supply that can be converted to data centres, which rivals have flagged as difficult to obtain.
