Families, Law Enforcement deepfake (Nov 2025)

People generated fake images and videos of a homeless intruder inside their homes and sent them to family members to provoke a reaction. In multiple cases, families believed the images were real and called 911, prompting police responses. Law enforcement agencies in several states have warned that these AI-generated intruder hoaxes can divert resources from real emergencies and potentially lead to dangerous situations. In October two juveniles in Ohio were criminally charged in connection to one of the incidents.
