Overview

• The FBI has issued a public service announcement about an ongoing smishing and vishing campaign impersonating senior U.S. officials since April 2025.
• Attackers use AI-generated voice messages and texts to establish trust before directing victims to malicious links that harvest credentials.
• The campaign primarily targets current and former senior federal and state government officials, as well as their associates and contacts.
• Compromised accounts are being used to further infiltrate networks, steal sensitive information, or solicit funds through social engineering.
• The FBI has not disclosed the number of victims or identified whether the perpetrators are financially motivated criminals or state-aligned actors.
