The official Obama White House Instagram account was compromised and used to post memes and nonsensical content. The breach exposed a gap in security protocols for high-profile government social media accounts.

Official accounts are often gateways to broader institutional systems. The hack demonstrates that even accounts associated with former administrations—which you'd expect to be relatively dormant—weren't properly secured.
