The official Instagram account of the Obama White House was compromised on Sunday, according to reports. An unidentified hacker gained access to the @obamawhitehouse account and posted unauthorized content, including an AI-generated image that falsely asserted the White House was under Shiite control, as reported by TMZ.
The attacker also added several posts to the account's Instagram Stories before the breach was detected. A representative for Meta, Instagram's parent company, confirmed that the account has now been secured and all unauthorized material has been removed.
The account had not been updated since 2017, when President Donald Trump assumed office for his first term. This incident marks a rare security lapse for a high-profile political account. Authorities are investigating the breach, and further details are expected to emerge. This is a developing story.
