The FBI reports that cybercriminals have stolen over $262 million through account takeover scams since January 2025. These attackers impersonate bank support teams to gain access to victims' accounts, quickly transferring funds to hard-to-trace cryptocurrency wallets. Victims are advised to monitor their accounts closely and act swiftly if targeted.

The FBI has issued a warning about a malicious campaign using AI-generated deepfake audio to impersonate senior US government officials, targeting individuals to trick them into clicking malicious links. This tactic exploits the indistinguishable nature of deepfake technology to establish trust and gain access to personal accounts, amid a rising trend in deepfake-related fraud and espionage.
