  • Hackers have been using AI-generated voice messages to impersonate senior US government officials in an ongoing effort to break into the online accounts of current and former US officials, the FBI warned Thursday.

The FBI has issued a warning about hackers using AI-generated voice messages to impersonate individuals and deceive their contacts into transferring money or revealing sensitive information. These AI-crafted voice clones can convincingly mimic a person's voice, tone, and even emotional state, making the scams increasingly difficult to detect. The bureau advises the public to be cautious of unsolicited calls requesting personal information or funds, to verify the identity of the caller through direct contact using known numbers, and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement. This alert comes as part of a broader effort to combat the rising sophistication of cybercrimes facilitated by advancements in artificial intelligence technology.
