    A database containing contact information for what was originally thought to be millions of Instagram influencers was reportedly found online, exposing info like phone numbers and email addresses for celebrities, influencers and brand accounts. According to TechCrunch, the database was hosted on Amazon Web Services and left without a password. Original reports claimed it contained as many as 49 million records, but Instagram has since confirmed that the database contained records for about 350,000 accounts.
