Selena Gomez and other celebrities fear the cyber attack could mean personal photos and messages are leaked
Stars fear the cyber-attack will see personal material intended only for friends and loved ones released online.
Bosses at the technology firm, owned by Facebook, confirmed the hackers were also able to access stars’ email addresses and phone numbers as a result of a glitch in their software.
A source said: “Many of the biggest celebrities in the world will be very concerned about this.
“Many use Instagram for chatting privately and swapping pics with friends. A lot will be hastily deleting things to stop anything embarrassing getting out in the hope that it’s not too late.”
Bosses have contacted high profile users to warn them of the attack, and encourage them to change their passwords.
Confirmation of the breach came just two days after Selena, the network’s most popular star, was hacked.
