Almaz Seyidov of Turkmenistan, a student at the Faculty of Mathematics, Kastamonu University, Turkey, discovered a systemic vulnerability of the worldwide popular messenger Instagram, Turkish media reported.

Explaining the vulnerability he discovered, Seyidov said: “I saw that a security error occurred in the accounts of social networks, and began the study. To prove the system vulnerability, which I discovered as a result of my study, I logged in the Instagram account of known football player Miralem Pjanić where I noted several photos I liked. Therefore, I thought that I could prove the detected security error”.
