What happened
Automated URL scanner urlDNA posted on Mastodon (infosec.exchange) on 10 November 2026 that instagram-tip[.]blogspot[.]com is a possible phishing page, and the OSINT account BeeSINT listed the same address in a "Phishing Spotlight" post at 4:00 AM ET (https://mastodon.social/@BeeSINT/117591325489282822). The page is on the Phishing Army blocklist. urlDNA also flagged instagram-analytics[.]blogspot[.]com at 11:00 AM ET (https://infosec.exchange/@urldna/117592975997270199). These are Blogger pages using Instagram's name; Instagram, Meta and Blogger are not the scammers. Log in to Instagram only through the app or by typing instagram.com.
How the scam works
urlDNA flagged instagram-tip.blogspot.com as a possible phishing page, and the OSINT account BeeSINT listed the same address in a Phishing Spotlight post. urlDNA also flagged instagram-analytics.blogspot.com the same day. The page is on the Phishing Army blocklist.
Blogger and other free site builders are often used for look-alike login pages because a page can be published in minutes under a name that includes a well-known brand. The login or "notification" form is not run by the brand whose name appears in the address. Passwords and one-time codes entered there are sent to whoever created the page and can be used at once to take over the real account.
Meta, Instagram, Facebook and Google's Blogger service are not the operators of these pages. Meta does not send account warnings through blogspot.com addresses. Sign in only through the official app or by typing the official website yourself. The flags come from automated scanners and public blocklists and have not been independently checked by scammers.com.
