If you're someone who frequently uses the Instagram app on their iOS device to snap and share photos, it might be worth noting that according to a researcher, there is apparently a vulnerability within the app that will grant hackers access to your account, take over it and even delete your photos if they choose to. Apparently this is due to the way the app authenticates itself with the Instagram servers, through the use of unencrypted cookies to confirm your account info with the Instagram servers.
