FBI Warns of AI-Driven Scam Impersonating Senior US Officials
- The FBI issued a public service announcement on Thursday warning that since April 2025, cybercriminals have used AI-generated voice deepfakes to impersonate senior US officials and target current and former government personnel and their contacts.
- These attacks follow prior FBI warnings and HHS alerts about increasingly sophisticated deepfakes used in voice phishing schemes designed to steal sensitive information and funds through social engineering.
- Attackers send text and AI-generated voice messages with malicious links disguised as invitations to move conversations to other platforms, aiming to compromise accounts and access broader contact networks for further exploitation.
- The FBI warned that messages appearing to come from high-ranking US officials should not be trusted without verification, as these breaches may be used to trick individuals into revealing information or transferring money.
- This ongoing threat suggests cybercriminals may increasingly use AI voice impersonations for financial fraud and account compromise, posing risks to government officials and their associates.
