Can anyone guess what exactly the hackers want with a particular person's IG? Why don't they just auto/synthetically generate a fake face if they just want to sell or scam something? Is it to exploit the person's friend network?

Really? Have you not ever seen a comment thread here on a topic involving women?
I don’t know if this is because I don’t recognise it when it happens (bad) or if it usually gets flagged fast enough that I seldom see it (good), but such a blatant attempt to dismiss a problem by pretending it’s a good thing is not my usual experience here.
Just speculation though.
Facebook doesn't seem to care about deepfakes on Instagram since they promote "engagement". I can't say I have too much advice other than to always use strong passwords, don't share passwords across sites, use VPNs on public routers, and stay away from posting videos of yourself on cancerous engagement metric-driven social media.
I think that is good advice for someone who is more tech-savy and aware of the problem but I'm not sure the rest of the world is as well prepared, or what effect it might have on us or FB/IG reputation and engagement if it's becoming more automated and widespread.
I feel we're just reaping the reward of our vacuity.

I, too, would like to know more about his wife's deep-faked onlyfans video.
That's a Reddit thing we don't really do here. Re-read your comment without the context of that Reddit snow-clone, and it sounds really creepy.
There is plenty of meat market content here no need to make an arbitrary line, its on topic here, deep fake, compute time, SaaS, account engagement, revenue
It lets us know how rational the incentive is
Instagram is a dumpster fire. I have a 3 letter instagram name and the amount of spam and attacks I get is insane... I get hundreds of password reset emails from instagram daily and constant DMs and follow requests from scammer and bot accounts. I've tried contacting instagram about it several times but they never respond. Had to blackhole emails from security@mail.instagram.com to prevent my mail server filling up.

I have another, stop using those websites completely. Delete your accounts.
Many people aren't fans of Insta/FB but they need to use it for reaching their audience.
frankly, i think this is where decentralized networks can help us. 1. networks where global reach to total strangers is not even possible, or at least is not the default. the vast majority of people only really want to reach their “friends of friends” anyway. this eliminates a lot of would-be hackers from even knowing you exist. 2. accounts that are unhackable because users log in with private keys instead of user/pa…
Wouldn't that be worse since private keys are king and there is no way to intervene?

Wow. I have an early Twitter handle and they let me turn off password resets without additional information. (I think you have to enter the email under which I've registered before it will send the request.)
