Social media platform Instagram has addressed confusion among millions of global users regarding unexpected password reset emails. The company reassured its users that their accounts are secure, clarifying that the emails resulted from an internal system issue, not a breach, and urged users to disregard them.

• Instagram confirmed the emails were mistakenly triggered by its own systems.
• The platform stated, "There was no breach of our systems and your Instagram accounts are secure."
• Official password reset emails always originate from domains ending in @mail.instagram.com.
• A recent leak of sensitive data from over 17 million Instagram accounts, reportedly by hacker "Solonnik," is believed to be linked to the emails.
• Users are advised to enable two-factor authentication and avoid clicking suspicious links.
