Incident 11412 Report
Purported AI Voice Cloning Used to Impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio

2025-06-15

Sometime in mid-June 2025, an unknown actor reportedly used AI voice-cloning and text generation to impersonate U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The impostor allegedly contacted at least five high-level officials, including three foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a member of Congress, via Signal and text messages. The actions reportedly aimed to manipulate targets into sharing sensitive information or account access.
