Researcher Reveals Evidence of Private Instagram Profiles Leaking Photos

A researcher has uncovered evidence showing that private Instagram accounts were exposing photo links to unauthenticated visitors. The issue was fixed by Meta, but the company classified the report as "not applicable" and did not respond to requests for comment. No details were provided about the exposure period, the number of affected accounts, or the exact technical mechanisms of the flaw. The impact is limited to the potential leakage of photos from private profiles.
