Instagram profiles protected by specific policies, designed to protect against identity theft. This is the direction in which the insurance sector is moving in the age of the metaverse.

instagram assicurazioneCases of theft of social accounts, in particular of Instagram profiles, are constantly increasing, with users who, perhaps following the careless opening of a message, are no longer able to access their account. Resulting in the theft of identity, images and information. In the worst cases the stolen images are then used on dating sites, in others the accounts are used to disseminate promotions on easy money. And if at the beginning it was mainly influencers and VIPs who were affected, now the question increasingly concerns common profiles, including corporate ones. Through relatively simple techniques, with some links to click normally sent through known and already hacked profiles, the blocked account also becomes a direct source of income because in many cases cybercriminals ask for the payment of a sum to return access to the own profile, a version of the classic ransomware, in fact. When the stolen account is a corporate one, the risks increase with potentially massive reputational damage.
 

Insurance for the Instagram profile.

Industry experts have long been looking for ways and solutions to stem the impact of growing cyber risks and from Israel comes the idea of a start-up, aimed precisely at those who use Instagram for professional purposes. It is a real insurance that recognizes a daily reimbursement to those who have seen their profile hacked, in a system very similar to the classic insurance one. Not arriving timely solutions from the owners of the various social networks, which on the contrary often show a certain inefficiency in providing assistance, Notch (this is the name of the start-up, has decided to provide, alongside the rapid recovery service of the stolen account, solutions specific for each type of profile, which take into account the number of followers, monthly and sponsored posts. 

How much does it cost to insure an Instagram account.

The costs conceived by the strat-up prove to be decidedly accessible, starting from € 7, thanks to the high customization proposed. But in the event of an account being blocked, the daily amount reimbursed can also exceed € 200 per day, for a maximum of 90 days. An excellent solution, especially for those who work with social networks.

How to make your Instagram profile safe.

Keeping your Instagram profile as safe as possible, especially if it is a business one, is a fundamental thing, insurance or not. The same social network offers security checkup and two-factor authentication to contribute to greater security. Maximum attention you have links and messages received. The techniques used by hackers are in fact those of phishing, in which they invite the user to click on specific links to steal the access data. To achieve greater success, known profiles or emails, also hacked, are used to leverage the trust effect and induce to perform the requested action. But if it should happen anyway to fall into the trap, it is necessary to report the fact and obviously contact the competent authorities for any protection.
