Instagram says hackers swiped contact info for verified users

Instagram just suffered a potentially serious (and this time, very real) data breach. The social photo service is sending out alerts that intruders got access to the phone numbers and email addresses for a number of "high-profile" users by exploiting a bug in Instagram's programming interface. The attackers didn't obtain passwords, and Instagram says it has already fixed the bug, but it's warning all verified users out of an "abundance of caution."
