Best to change your passwords to all accounts monthly, and if not more often. Agree to two-factor authorization (authenticator, or Duo, or some other one decided and offered by the company). For this incident:

Instagram says it fixed a bug that allowed threat actors to mass-request password reset emails, amid claims that data from more than 17 million Instagram accounts was scraped and leaked online.

"We fixed an issue that allowed an external party to request password reset emails for some Instagram users," a Meta spokesperson told BleepingComputer.

"We want to reassure everyone there was no breach of our systems and people's Instagram accounts remain secure. People can disregard these emails and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

Don't pick easily hacked passwords, and avoid duplicate passwords.

There are over 2 billion active accounts
on Instagram so the number of leaked
email accounts amounts to 0.85%.

I have never received a notification
asking for a password reset by
Instagram on my account.
