    CAFC and Partners Raise Awareness of Malicious Cyber Campaign

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (MIDLAND,ON)- Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) are continuing to raise the awareness for North Simcoe residents of the various scams that they may encounter on the telephone or online.

    Cyber security officials in the Government of Canada are warning Canadians about a spike in malicious cyber activity, where threat actors are using text and AI-generated voice messages impersonating senior officials and prominent public figures to steal money and information

    Canadian authorities have become aware of a malicious cyber campaign targeting business executives and senior public officials. A threat actor is sending malicious links or urgent financial requests using messaging accounts and voice calls that claim to be from senior government officials. In some cases, they are using AI to mimic the officials’ voices to make the calls more convincing.

    The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, a part of the Communications Security Establishment Canada, and its partners have been tracking and monitoring how AI is improving the personalization and persuasiveness of social engineering attacks worldwide for months. The FBI also alerted the public to this threat in April 2025. Canadian officials have recently become aware of similar tactics targeting Canadians in a related or linked campaign.
