Instagram is fighting Doxagram, a hacker database where the details of high-profile users of the social media site are for sale. Last week, unknown hackers launched a website called Doxagram with a searchable database of six million Instagram users' personal contacts. The company has been under fire from privacy advocates and journalists since it was revealed in May that Facebook had allowed hackers to access information on more than 50 million users. Instagram has purchased more than 280 domains linked to Doxagram in an effort to prevent the theft or sale of data, but the success of this strategy remains to be seen.
