One attacker pretended to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio, contacting high-ranking government officials via AI-generated text and voice messages. Targets included foreign ministers and a governor. Although the incident did not result in a cyber breach, the State Department is investigating the situation and warns of the risks of identity theft. Rubio has been involved in a similar incident before, and voice cloning technologies complicate the identification of attacks.
