Instagram To Verify The Authenticity Of Accounts And Add Two-Factor Authentication Via Third-Party Apps

More than 1 billion users of Instagram, the widely acclaimed online photo-sharing app, will be able to evaluate the accounts’ authenticity now, only a few weeks after its parent company, Facebook, Inc., applied similar actions to eliminate fake accounts from their social network.

Instagram said it would launch a feature titled “About this Account” that enables users to see which advertisements are applied to a given account, the country where the account is based, any changes in the username in the past year, as well as other information.

“Keeping people with bad intentions off our platform is incredibly important, it means trying to make sure that the people you follow and the accounts you interact with are who they say they are, and stopping bad actors before they harm,” stated Instagram co-founder and chief technology officer, Mike Krieger.

Also, the social network stated that it would permit the use of third-party software, such as Duo Mobile and Google Authenticator, for two-factor authentication to provide users with more secure access to their accounts.

Two-step authentication provides an optional security feature, besides usernames and passwords, by asking users for an extra credential to access their accounts.

Earlier in August, Facebook added a similar tool for users who are managing pages with a high number of followers across the United States to help make pages more difficult to administrate for those who use a fake or compromised Facebook accounts. Those new tools will be made available to anyone in the next few weeks, said representatives of Instagram in a recent blog article.

As of yesterday, Tuesday, August 28th, Instagram allows accounts with numerous followers to ask for verification via a tool inside the app, the social network stated.

Morgan Creek Capital Management Partnered With Bitwise For A Cryptocurrency Fund For Institutional Investors

The investment advisory firm, Morgan Creek Capital Management, announced the launch of a cryptocurrency fund, in partnership with Bitwise Asset Management, that would include ten crypto coins, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

This information was disseminated through a press release published on August 28th on the official Bitwise website. The new fund is named the Morgan Creek Digital Asset Index Fund and is designed to provide access to crypto investments to institutional investors.

The new fund will be managed by Bitwise Asset Management, a company founded in 2017 that already has experience in working with cryptocurrencies. It will include in its offer ten cryptos, namely, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Dash (DASH), Litecoin (LTC), Monero (XMR), EOS (EOS), ZCash (ZEC), and OmiseGo (OMG).

The new Morgan Creek Digital Asset Index Fund dedicated to institutional investors would focus on transparency

Hunter Horsley, the co-founder of Bitwise, explained that the two main considerations that justified the committee’s decision to limit pre-mined crypto are its concerns regarding possible fraud and cryptocurrency regulations. He also added that the new Digital Asset Index Fund is dedicated to businesses and will welcome “accredited institutional investors and approved investors.”

The firm also ensured that the equity value of the ten cryptocurrencies accepted will be transparent and that investors will access the digital portfolio at any time through the organization’s portal where they can also research the team that manages the fund. Also, the cryptocurrency fund will be supervised by Bitwise’s auditor company, which will work together with an advisory committee made up of experts from the partner companies. The results will be published annually starting at the beginning of 2019.

Last July, Bitwise Asset Management also applied with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register the Hold 10 Index, an ETF where it plans to list ten cryptocurrencies.
