Gate News 消息，3 月 14 日，美国联邦调查局（FBI）数据显示，随着人工智能技术普及，政府冒充类诈骗正在上升。诈骗者利用深度伪造视频、语音合成和生成式 AI 冒充政府官员或企业高管，使骗局更具真实性。攻击者可通过公开的音视频资料生成逼真的数字分身，并利用 AI 自动生成高度个性化的诈骗信息。2024 年，一起利用 AI 伪造视频会议的诈骗案导致英国工程公司 Arup 香港办公室员工误信指令，向诈骗账户转账约 2 亿港元（约 2500 万美元）。在美国纳税季期间，诈骗者常冒充美国国税局（IRS）或其他政府机构制造紧急付款要求。FBI 互联网犯罪投诉中心统计，2024 年政府冒充类诈骗收到逾 1.7 万起投诉，涉案损失超过 4 亿美元。安全专家提醒，公众应警惕要求立即付款的信息，通过官方渠道核实来源，并避免点击可疑邮件或短信链接。
