Incident 12211 Report
Alleged AI-Enabled PRISONBREAK Influence Operation on X Reportedly Synchronizes Deepfake of Evin Prison Strike with Ongoing Attacks in Tehran

2025-06-23

Researchers from Citizen Lab and Clemson documented "PRISONBREAK," a coordinated network of 50+ inauthentic X accounts running a purportedly AI-enabled influence operation. The network reportedly synchronized with the June 23 Evin Prison strikes, posting an AI-generated "attack" video during the events and urging Iranians to free inmates, alongside other synthetic media and media impersonations. They assess, with medium confidence, likely Israeli government or contractor involvement.
