A new phishing campaign pretending to be a 'copyright infringement' email attempts to steal the backup codes of Instagram users, allowing hackers to bypass the two-factor authentication configured on the account.

Two-factor authentication is a security feature that requires users to enter an additional form of verification when logging into the account. This verification is usually in the form of one-time passcodes sent via SMS text message, codes from an authentication app, or through hardware security keys.
