The official White House Instagram page linked to former US President Barack Obama was hacked, Anadolu reports.
The breach was discovered on Sunday after several unusual posts appeared on the account, which uses the name @obamawhitehouse.
The most prominent post was an AI-generated image accompanied by a caption that translated as: “The White House is under Shiite control,” according to TMZ.
The hacker also reportedly posted new Instagram stories to the account, which has 2.4 million followers.
A representative for Meta, which owns Instagram, confirmed the breach to TMZ and said the account has since been secured. All unauthorized content has also been removed.
According to TMZ, the last legitimate post on the account was published on January 20, 2017, the day President Donald Trump was inaugurated.
No details have been released about who is responsible for the hack.
Obama maintains a separate personal Instagram account under the name @barackobama, which has 42.2 million followers.
