Summary:

Upon investigation, it has been discovered that the Instagram username associated with the website "hoory.com" was available for takeover due to a broken link redirecting to a non-existent Instagram page. The original link, https://www.instagram.com/hoory_com/?hl=en, led to an error message indicating that the page was not available.
