Instagram: celebrity contact details leaked after nude Bieber photos posted

Phone numbers and email addresses of high-profile users exposed just days after Selena Gomez's account posted naked shots of ex-boyfriend Bieber

A bug in Instagram that allowed criminals to steal the private information of celebrities has come to light just days after hackers took over the account of Selena Gomez to post nude pictures of Justin Bieber.

Instagram admitted that the bug within its application programming interface (API) allowed at least one person to gain access to the private email addresses and phone numbers of high-profile users.
