What we protect creators, small businesses, and everyday users from

Impersonator accounts using your photos
Scammers copy your name, avatar, and bio, then DM your followers for money, giveaways, or crypto.
Account takeover via phishing DMs
Fake 'copyright violation' or 'verification' messages steal your login and 2FA codes.
Fake brand collab & sponsorship offers
Malicious links disguised as PR packages install session-stealing malware.

How to protect your Instagram account (5 minutes)

  1. 1
    Scan your handle for existing clones
    Run a free social scan to list every account using your name, photo, or a look-alike handle.
  2. 2
    Turn on 2FA with an authenticator app (not SMS)
    SMS 2FA can be defeated with SIM swaps. Use Authy, 1Password, or Google Authenticator instead.
  3. 3
    Pin a verification post
    Pin a public post listing your only handle and what you'll never DM about — send followers there to verify.
  4. 4
    Activate your free Shield watchlist
    Add your Instagram handle so we email you the moment a new clone account appears.
  5. 5
    Claim your public verification badge
    Publish a gacs.app/badge/<handle> link in your bio so followers can confirm you're real in one tap.
