Instagram shut me down and left the hacker up!

Internet Safety and an Art Studio Tour this week - What a week! I lost my Instagram account! I have been so naive! This is my story of experiencing identity theft and fraud through a cyber-attack online. I am also showing you around my new art studio with a tour of what it is looking like so far! So once again, a really up and down, happy/sad kind of week. A rollercoaster of emotions for sure! I'm also talking about why Instagram is so good for artists and creators and wondering how to get my disabled, deactivated account back online! I share what I've learned about the whole experience with tips to secure accounts and keep ourselves safe in the online community. Phew, what a ride! Let me know your experiences or any advice you may have in the comments. I appreciate every single one of you. Thanks, as always for keeping me company on this wild journey called life.
