**WHITE HOUSE UNDER FIRE AS MYSTERY VIDEO STREAM APPEARS ON OFFICIAL WEBSITE**
The White House is scrambling to investigate after a bizarre incident in which a video stream from a YouTube channel about investments appeared on its website, sparking questions over the security of the administration's online presence.
According to sources close to the matter, the video stream was visible on the Live News section of the White House website for approximately an hour around midnight Thursday. The footage, which appears to be from a user named @RealMattMoney, shows someone discussing financial topics and investing strategies.
The White House has acknowledged the incident and is currently looking into the matter, but it remains unclear whether this was the result of a hack or an accidental post. "We are aware of the situation and are investigating," said a White House official on condition of anonymity.
Further investigation revealed that the YouTube channel @RealMattMoney belongs to 34-year-old Matt Farley, a petroleum engineer from Texas who claims to be a fan of President Donald Trump. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Farley expressed his surprise and confusion over the incident: "It's definitely me, but no idea how I got there," he said.
Farley added that he was only alerted to the issue after receiving messages from concerned individuals about the video stream appearing on the White House website. When asked if he would have dressed differently for a possible appearance on the White House page, Farley quipped: "Had I known I would be on the White House page, I would probably have dressed a little differently."
This is not the first time that the White House has faced issues with its online security. In 2014, it was reported that people believed to be associated with Russia had hacked unclassified White House computer networks, according to the Washington Post.
The incident comes at a sensitive time for the administration, which is still reeling from the aftermath of the Senate's confirmation of Ethan Klein as US chief technology officer earlier on Thursday.
As the investigation into this latest incident continues, it remains to be seen how the White House will address these concerns and ensure the security of its online presence. One thing is certain: the White House will have to up its game when it comes to monitoring and protecting its digital perimeter.
