Interesting, do you have any links to that end?
Just my personal observation. I earned around half a million dollars by running an "autoclaimer" that would automatically register Instagram names as they'd become available. I'd regularly see Instagram employees grabbing names from my portfolio for themselves.
If you're only using this via the app from a mobile device, then malware is an unlikely explanation though.
(Why are you regularly changing the password anyway? What's the threat model you're trying to guard against?)
> My current theory is there is some employee at Meta that's ultimately stealing the account This happens all the time, there is no recourse. Instagram employees are constantly taking usernames for themselves.

I can understand the company pulling usernames from an automated name squatter... but I wonder if this happens to fully established accounts too?
E: Oh yeah, there was also the whole "trademarking" thing that was used to steal generic names from active accounts using obviously invalid trademarks. https://www.vice.com/en/article/zma3w4/scammers-fake-tradema...

Wow that's a shitty thing to do
Someone at Facebook stealing your domain is quite an accusation. Assuming your domain was similar to your username/IG handle, wouldn't it be more likely to be people wanting your "china" domain for spam/malware/propaganda/etc?
This happened to me several years ago. My account got locked out and I had no way to contact a human to get it back.
