Amanda Kohar Instagram Account Problem

Doxagram Hack? Instagram Random Suspension?

Amanda & Hungry Makers Team (Hendrik Pyong, Merli, Vicky) 

Sabtu kemarin saat saya sedang bersiap-siap menghadiri foodies gathering, ada line message masuk dari Eni, memberi tahu kalau account salah satu teman kita di instagram, Amanda Kohar, mendadak hilang dari peredaran

Berhubung berbarengan dengan kasus hack account Selena Gomez, kita menduga kalau ada serangan hacker di account Amanda. 

Last Saturday while preparing to go on a foodies gathering, I receive a line message regarding a friend's account from Eni. Amanda Kohar, a well known foodie and instagram personal brand account owner. Her account went missing all of a sudden, which leaves us baffled.

On the same day, there's this news about Selena Gomez's account being hacked, so we kinda put two and two together and figured, this might happened to our friend as well.

What Happened Amanda?

Hingga saat ini belum jelas apakah account Amanda yang hilang ini akibat ulah hacker atau suspend account dari Instagram. 

Baik sebab pertama atau kedua, kita sebagai teman Amanda meminta pertimbangan Instagram untuk mengembalikan account miliknya.
Amanda adalah blogger dan instagramer yang sudah berkecimpung dalam dunia kuliner dan fashion sejak lama. Dia bukan instagramers yang membangun kepopuleran dengan like / follower palsu dan memberikan kontribusi positif bagi pemakai instagram dan social media lainnya.
Jika Instagram menghargai figur yang berintegritas dan orisinil, maka biarkanlah Amanda memiliki accountnya kembali, supaya kita bisa kembali menikmati hasil karyanya.

Up until today we still haven't really figured out if this is genuinely a Hack similar to Selena Gomez's account (Doxagram) or if this is a random account suspend by instagram that gone wrong.

Either way, here's an appeal to Instagram to restore her account.
Amanda is a genuine blogger and instagramer that build her career in a sincere manner. She didn't acquire her fame overnight, using bought likes / followers, she's been active in social media sharing all kind of experience since 2010, maybe way before that too.

So if you appreciate original content maker and genuine personality in Instagram, please restore her account so that we can appreciate more of her works.

What to do to prevent hacking?

Supaya account kita aman, kita perlu aktifkan 2 factor authentication di Instagram

To prevent hacking to our instagram account, activate this 2 factor authentication feature in Instagram

Dengan aktivasi fitur ini, tiap kali kita relog ke account kita, akan dikirimkan kode ke handphone setelah kita memasukkan password untuk login.

With this feature activated, you will be prompted to enter a sms code, that will be sent to you after you submit your password and username credential on the login page.

Berikutnya adalah waspada terhadap phishing.
Metode phishing paling umum adalah dengan mengirimkan email ke pemilik akun, menyamarkan diri sebagai pengelola instagram dan meminta username dan password. Jangan pernah menanggapi permintaan demikian, karena akan memudahkan hacker membobol akun kita.

Second thing is be wary of phishing.

The most common phishing method is emailing you whilst pretending to be someone from instagram staff. They will ask for you username, password and other credential needed to hack your account. Never reply to this kind of email.
