Amaretto today, their 4th time out since early(ish) 2021 delivery. It's sad, WFH has me in mocs or some sort of house slob slip-on 99% of the time so I forced myself to wear something real when I went out today. :brick:

Although I did wear my suede slippers out the other day, so I had that going for me. Which was nice.

I hope everyone is doing well, as always, - Have a great weekend!

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but my Instagram account was taken over in what might be called a kind of phishing expedition. I was contacted via Instagram by one of my Instagram followers (rustlesmythe) saying he was starting a new clothing line or something like that, and asked me to join his platform. He's someone I remembered from Instagram (from posts and likes), and the context (clothing) sounded on-point.

My Instagram account has been used pretty much solely for boot-related posts and occasional discussions via DM (pretty much all about boots, too). I think my guard was down because of the casualness (and limited use) of the account, and also because I recognized the DM'er. (If you haven't figured it out by now, rustlesmythe's account was probably similarly compromised, and probably not whom I was actually chatting with.)

I did not have 2-factor authentication enabled for that account.

Also, as someone who's a relative Instagram novice (again, it was solely for boot stuff), I didn't understand what he meant when he asked me to join his new platform. I assumed it was an Instagram shopping thing. Anyway, rustlesmythe said I'd be sent a text link. I was sent one, and I clicked on it (we were DM'ing through this). When it seemed nothing happened, I told him, and he asked me what link was sent to me, and asked me to send it to him to see. (Yes....I know.)

So, if you get a similar message, I'm going to assume you're not going to be as foolish as I was. Don't be. And know that if you get a DM from weathered.hide on Instagram about my new clothing business (or any other thing for that matter), it's not me.

I have contacted Instagram/Facebook but expect there's a very good chance the account is lost. As it stands, the account appears to still be tied to my email address, and I was even able to change the password. What the account thief did, though, was to add 2-factor authentication to the account. I can type in the username and password, but then it prompts me for a code I do not have.

Learn from my stupidity, and keep your heads up.

What does one gain from stealing a medium-used Instagram boot account?
