Hackers breach Obama White House Instagram years after it went silent | Cybernews

A dormant Instagram account once tied to former President Barack Obama was hacked over the weekend, with AI-generated imagery posted and a caption claiming 'the White House is under Shiites' control.' The origin is believed to be Iranian, though attribution remains unconfirmed, and the breach's purpose is unclear. Meta confirmed the account was compromised and removed the content shortly after. The incident also affected John F. Bentivegna, the Chief Master Sergeant of the U.S. Space Force, whose account was looted, illustrating how attackers target high-profile accounts to spread propaganda. The episode underscores ongoing cybersecurity concerns for public figures online.
