An imposter using AI-generated voice and texts posed as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, contacting top U.S. and foreign leaders in a high-level disinformation and infiltration campaign.
The fake Rubio reached out to:
-
3 foreign ministers
-
1 U.S. governor
-
1 member of Congress
According to a July 3 State Department cable, the imposter used Signal, a secure messaging app, and even left voicemails to add legitimacy to the con.
Who’s Behind It?
U.S. officials suspect this was part of a broader intelligence-gathering plot, likely foreign-sponsored.
The goal: access accounts, sensitive info, and disrupt U.S. diplomacy, all while impersonating a top Trump ally in the middle of global crises.
Susie Wiles Also Targeted
This comes on the heels of another security breach involving White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, where data from her personal cell phone was reportedly used to contact powerful political figures.
Both events appear to be part of a coordinated campaign targeting senior Trump administration officials
