Think before clicking on the link found in the email or message
Clicking on the button of ‘Copyright Objection Form’ redirects the user to a fake Instagram page. However, the URL of the page does not end with .com or .cf or ml. This leads to the illusion that the domain belongs to the instagram on the mobile web browser.

This page with SSL certificate looks real and official and has ‘HTTPS’ and green padlock in its address bar. If the user clicks on it, then he is asked email ID, date of birth and Instagram password.

After taking all the private information from the user, the fishing page redirects users to the official Instagram login page. So that it can be confused with the fact that the copyright object form was authentic. If Instagram users get caught in this trick, then hackers take control of their account without any problem.

Learn about copyright infringement
