The colleagues from Bleeping Computer reported here that, in addition to login problems, users were also told that the account did not exist, i.e. the error message "User not found" appeared, while other users were asked to provide feedback in order to log in.

A real "Halloween" experience that Instagram gives its users.
Fits with the outage of the messenger service WhatsApp, on October 25, 2022, which I reported in the blog post WhatsApp: Worldwide down for some users (Oct. 25, 2022) berichtet habe.
