If you receive a password reset email, @ohhackno helpfully pointed out that you can check recent emails sent by Instagram in the "password and security" section of your account settings. That'll allow you to confirm if the message you received was, indeed, a fake.

Instagram was allegedly involved in a data breach, resulting in users randomly receiving password reset requests via email.

In a statement shared with users, Instagram said the issue enabled an outside actor to request password reset emails for certain accounts, creating the impression that profiles were under attack.
