Hackers are using deepfake technology to impersonate senior US officials in phishing campaigns, warned the FBI. These bad actors aim to steal sensitive data by establishing fake rapport with victims. The FBI advises caution when receiving messages from supposed US officials, as they may be fraudulent. If officials' accounts are compromised, hackers can target more government personnel using stolen contact information. Additionally, blockchain leaders like Sandeep Narwal have been targeted with deepfake scams. Narwal warned about scammers using deepfake videos to trick victims into installing malicious software. To avoid falling victim to such scams, it is recommended to never install anything during online interactions and to use a separate device for crypto transactions. The FBI also suggests verifying the identity of contacts, checking for inconsistencies in sender addresses, and implementing two-factor authentication.
