The livestream appeared for at least eight minutes late Thursday on whitehouse.gov/live, where the White House usually streams live video of the president speaking.
It’s unclear if the website was breached or the video was linked accidentally by someone in the government. The White House said in a statement that it was “aware and looking into what happened.”
The video that appeared on the government-run website featured some of a more than two-hour livestream from Matt Farley, who posts as @RealMattMoney, as he answered financial questions.
Farley told The Associated Press on Friday that he had no idea what happened and learned about it after the fact.
I'm sure it's good for your numbers, but I think of be pretty weirdes out if the Whitehouse website just "accidentally" put up some of my content.
Interesting, but Occam's Razor suggests that some intern copy and pasted the wrong link.
Yes, sadly. I'd much more prefer this to be some form of international espionage.
