Hackers can easily hack Instagram accounts if the passwords are easy and are commonly used such as a nickname, phone number, partner’s name, pet name, just to name a few. Users should make sure that they select a strong password with a combination of numbers, symbols, space bar, and lower and uppercase letters.
