You didn't forget that Facebook owns Instagram8 U.S.C 2257 did you?
That little fact is extra germane today following the news that at least 50 million Facebook users, and possibly 90 million, had their accounts accessed by hackers. And, it turns out, those users' Instagram accounts could have been compromised, too.
SEE ALSO: Facebook: 50 million accounts 'directly affected' by hackHere's the key detail: You can log into your Instagram account with your Facebook account. And, if you used your affected Facebook account to log into your Instagram account, hackers would have been able to access that account as well.

Think Tinder, Uber, and so, so many others.
Facebook's VP of product management Guy Rosen confirmed as much on an afternoon phone call with reporters.

But don't think everything is chill just yet. As Facebook repeatedly insisted both in its official statement and on the conference call, the investigation is still in its early stages.
Meaning, there's still a lot about the hack that the company doesn't know. Fun, right?
