By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Iran's ICT Minister Mohammadjavad Azari-Jahromi called on the users to change their passwords as the photo sharing app was hit by a bug last week.
Azari-Jahromi also called on Iranian firms to improve their security systems.
Earlier Instagram alerted high-profile users that someone could have accessed their phone number and email address through a bug in its software.
"We recently discovered that one or more individuals obtained unlawful access to a number of high-profile Instagram users' contact information - specifically email address and phone number - by exploiting a bug in an Instagram API," an Instagram spokesperson said in a statement to CNN Tech.
