The FBI is currently investigating an impersonator who pretended to be Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, reaching out to her contacts, including several prominent Republicans. Reports indicate Wiles informed colleagues that her personal cellphone was hacked, prompting her to warn them against responding to communications from numbers not associated with her. The impersonator made requests for pardons and cash transfers, appearing credible enough to elicit responses due to the use of AI technology potentially mimicking Wiles' voice. The investigation underscores the importance of secure communication among government officials.
