Overview

• The FBI has identified an ongoing campaign since April 2025, where attackers use AI-generated voice and text messages to impersonate senior U.S. officials.
• The scheme targets current and former federal and state government officials and their contacts, exploiting trust to harvest sensitive credentials.
• Victims are lured to malicious links disguised as messaging platforms, where attackers steal login details and multi-factor authentication codes.
• Compromised accounts are used to expand the attack, impersonating trusted contacts to gather further information or funds.
• The FBI advises verifying identities, closely inspecting URLs and messages, and reporting suspected incidents to its Internet Crime Complaint Center.
