An unexpected event occurred in the political sphere in the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The fraud scheme organized with the help of artificial intelligence has influenced government management, according to washingtonpost.com. According to reports, an unknown individual impersonated U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and contacted American and foreign officials via fake emails and the Signal messenger.
This situation has been specifically communicated to State Department employees. According to The Washington Post, the fraudster opened an account in June using the address [email protected] and sent messages imitating Rubio's voice and writing style with the help of artificial intelligence.
It has been determined that only three ministers, a state governor, and members of Congress received reminders, and the content of the messages is kept confidential. In some cases, the fraudster invited the interlocutor to a meeting.
So far, it is unclear whether any official has responded to these communications or not, and it is also unknown who is behind the fraud. The State Department believes this incident could be a manipulation aimed at obtaining confidential information from diplomats.
Experts and specialists emphasize the need for serious measures regarding threats in the fields of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity within the U.S. government system. The White House has promised to strengthen strict checks and preventive measures to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.
So far, the names of the officials affected by the attack have not been disclosed. In recent months, Marco Rubio has been active not only as Secretary of State but also as a presidential advisor on national security.
American media are linking these changes to a chat controversy called "Signalgate." They claim that users have disclosed confidential information via Signal.
