FBI Warns of Sophisticated Scam Targeting Government Workers: Be Vigilant!The FBI has issued a warning about a persistent scam thats been targeting federal computer networks since May. Scammers impersonate senior U.S. leaders via text messages or AI-generated voice calls to trick individuals into sharing access. They then reach out to the victims contacts, posing as acquaintances, and push for a switch to a private, malware-laden app or send a link to a fake site to steal login details or sensitive data. The scam, which combines smishing and vishing tactics, has raised alarms across agencies due to its potential to facilitate various crimes. To protect yourself, always verify new contact information through a trusted source and be cautious when receiving unsolicited calls or messages.
