Deepfakes were used to impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and President Joe Biden. The Rubio deepfake attempted to contact foreign ministers, a U.S. senator, and a governor. The Biden deepfake was used in robocalls to discourage Democratic voters in New Hampshire from voting in the primary. Deepfakes are used in corporate espionage to impersonate CEOs asking employees to hand over passwords or routing numbers. Deepfakes can also allow scammers to apply for jobs and do them under an assumed or fake identity. North Koreans with information technology skills have been dispatched to live abroad, using stolen identities to obtain jobs at tech firms in the U.S.
