Impostor uses AI to impersonate Rubio and contact foreign and US officials

The State Department is warning U.S. diplomats of attempts to impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio and possibly other officials using AI-driven technology. That’s according to two senior officials and a cable sent last week to all embassies and consulates. The warning came after the department discovered that an impostor posing as Rubio had tried to reach out to at least three foreign ministers, a U.S. senator and a governor. Those details were laid out in a July 3 cable first reported by The Washington Post. The recipients of the scam messages weren’t identified in the cable shared with The Associated Press.
