Hey there! Have you ever heard of someone pretending to be someone else online? 😮 Well, recently, some tricky people used artificial intelligence (AI) to pretend they were Senator Marco Rubio! They tried to contact important officials in the United States and other countries. That’s not cool! 😠
The U.S. State Department found out that these impostors were sending fake messages pretending to be Senator Rubio. They even tried to reach out to foreign leaders, a U.S. senator, and a governor! 📱✉️
But don’t worry! Officials are on the case. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said they’re working hard to keep everyone’s information safe. “The department takes seriously its responsibility to safeguard its information,” she said. 🛡️
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Earlier, someone tried to pretend to be another official. As technology gets better, we all need to be extra careful. Sometimes, people use AI to make fake messages or voices that sound real. 🤖🔊
Here are some tips to stay safe:
- If you get a message from someone famous or important, be cautious. It might be fake! 🚫
- Don’t share personal information with strangers online. 🕵️♀️
- If something seems too weird or unbelievable, tell a trusted adult. 👨👩👧
Remember, it’s important to stay safe online. Share this information with your friends and family so they know about these tricks too! 💡
