Beware the InstaAgent App!

Have you been interested in who looks at your Instagram account lately? Did you download an app to help you figure it out? Was it called InstaAgent?

 

According to the good guys over at Macrumors, this app is quite probably bad news. An App developer from Peppersoft downloaded the app and it appears to be doing very bad things. Bad things like storing usernames and passwords of users and sending them to a very suss remote server.

 

InstaAgent is also allegedly logging into accounts and posting unauthorized images. Uh Oh.

 

The Android app has already been removed from the Google Play store, however as of writing it is still available in the iOS App Store.

 

Anyone who has already downloaded InstaAgent and is worried should delete the app and change their Instagram password. If you have other passwords that are the same as your Instagram password, you should probably change those as well. 

 

According to Instagram, apps that promise to provide your with information not already provided by Instagram are “likely an attempt to use your account in an inappropriate way” and should be avoided.

 

 

 

T-Mobile’s big and awesome announcement

tmobile

 

 

John Legere, everyone’s favorite uncarrier CEO, announced today at the ‘Uncarrier X’ event that as part of a new ‘Binge On’ program, video content from all platforms that T-Mobile are partnering with will be free. FREE. As in not counting on your data plan, free.

 

 

Whaat. Content providers that have already signed up include Netflix, HBO Go and Now, Hulu, Sling TV, ESPN, Showtime, VEVO, and, yup, Go90 – Verizon’s content app – as well as 16 others.

 

 

You get everything for free. Well, you have to pay those people. But if you’re with T-Mobile, you don’t pay for the data! Good news if you’re not on unlimited data plan! And if you are, well then, business as usual?

 

 

From the Sauce, Mr Legere himself:

 

“It’s free, the providers don’t pay, the customer doesn’t pay, and you can shut it off.”

 

The Binge on Service is available from November 15th. Check it out!
