Cybercriminals are expanding their “services” by offering to ban an Instagram user for the low, low price of $60. This was recently reported by Motherboard, whose research showed that anyone on Instagram can harass or censor anyone else. The notion is actually pretty clever, because the same criminals (and their close accomplices) can then offer a “restoration” service to the victim for several thousands of dollars.

Instagram has a support page that walks you through how to protest a disabled or banned account. It isn’t very good. In my post for Avast’s blog, I mention the issues and what you can do to harden your Instagram account.
