Hackers hit Obama White House Instagram account 

The Instagram account associated with the Obama-era White House has been compromised, prompting a swift response from its parent company, Meta, after unauthorised content briefly appeared on the page.

The account, which serves as an archived record of official White House communications during Barack Obama’s presidency, was found to have been accessed by unknown actors who published posts that did not reflect its historical or official purpose.

Among the material shared was an AI-generated image accompanied by a provocative caption referencing the White House. The content quickly drew attention online before being removed.

Meta confirmed that the account breach had been contained and said security measures were taken to restore control. The company also stated that it is investigating how the intrusion occurred and whether any other accounts were affected.

The compromised account is not linked to Barack Obama’s personal social media presence, but rather functions as a legacy archive of the administration’s communications during his time in office.

No further details about those responsible for the breach have been released.
