FBI Urges Public to Guard Against AI Scams with Privacy Measures

The FBI has issued a warning about the increasing use of generative AI in smartphone-based cyber attacks, including phishing scams and deepfakes. To combat these threats, the FBI advises users to hang up on suspicious calls, verify identities through independent research, and establish a secret word with trusted contacts for emergency verification. The public is urged to report any AI-driven fraud to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, providing detailed information about the incident.
