Specifically, users are at risk for partial eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks that a ne’er-do-well could use to delete photos or even take over a user’s account and download private photos.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Instagram’s login and profile data are sent via a secure &lt;a href="http://hothardware.com/Tags/https.aspx"&gt;HTTPS&lt;/a&gt; connection, but other requests are sent through plain ‘ol HTTP that uses only an unencrypted cookie for authentication. If an attacker is connected to the same LAN as a given user’s iPhone, the game is on.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item23620/instagram-hackable.jpg" alt="Instagram hackable" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; “An attacker on the same LAN of the victim could launch a simple arpspoofing attack to trick the iPhones into passing port 80 traffic through the attackers machine,” wrote Reventlov. “When the victim starts the Instagram app a plain text cookie is sent to the Instagram server, [and] once the attacker gets the cookie he is able to craft special HTTP requests for getting data and deleting photos.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Reventlov’s suggested fixes appear relatively simple to implement. He suggests using HTTPS for all API requests containing sensitive data and a body signature for unencrypted requests. He submitted his findings and a proof of concept to Instagram nearly a month ago, and according to his website, he received only an automated response. As of November 20th, the vulnerability remained unpatched.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="newsTextBody" id="dvBody"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="newsText" id="dvComment"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
