Instagram 'Download Your Data' Tool Security Flaw Exposed Some Users' Passwords

Instagram has reported to a few of its users that their password information may have been compromised due to a bug in the new 'Download Your Data' tool. Instagram has confirmed that the URL shared while using the tool included the user's password information as well, something that should not be the case. If this tool was used on a shared computer, this password information in the URL could potentially lead to misuse. The company notes that it has already fixed the bug, but recommends users to change their passwords nevertheless.
