Americans lost nearly $900 million to AI-powered scams, FBI says
The 2025 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Internet Crime Report shows that Americans reported $893,346,472 in AI‑related scam losses.
Those losses stem from 22,364 AI-related complaints. And these figures represent only the reported losses, which may well be the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
The main drivers behind the rise in AI-powered scams are voice cloning, deepfake images and videos, and AI‑generated scripts. These tools have supercharged classic fraud schemes such as romance scams, kidnapping and extortion calls, fake influencers, and government impersonation.
Michael Machtinger, deputy assistant director of the FBI Cyber Division, told the Wall Street Journal:
“AI-created fraudulent communications can look very official and very legitimate to even the most trained individuals.”
The FBI and financial institutions recommend verifying identities via official contact channels. One of their biggest concerns is government impersonation scams, which have evolved from crude IRS gift‑card phone calls into sophisticated, multi‑channel operations that combine spoofed caller ID, stolen agency logos, and AI‑generated audio and video of public officials.
This report, and others like it, shows how AI is being weaponized to automate research on victims, generate convincing scripts, and create highly believable deepfake personas at scale.
AI is also increasingly used in business email compromise (BEC), romance scams, and impersonation fraud. In BEC cases involving AI, losses have already reached tens of millions of dollars for businesses alone.
For a broader look at why AI is simultaneously fueling scams like these and becoming indispensable to defending against them, see my article AI: Threat, tool, or both?
It explains how both defenders and criminals use AI to find vulnerabilities, and why security vendors increasingly rely on AI to process vast amounts of telemetry, detect anomalies, and keep pace with threats that “no longer move at human speed.”
How to stay safeConsumer protection agencies have documented a growing list of the ways scammers are using AI to try to rip people off. The main problem is that we can no longer take it at face value that the person we’re talking to is who they claim to be.
Government agencies and financial institutions recommend that you:
- Be skeptical of urgent payment demands, especially those involving cryptocurrency or gift cards
- Limit the amount of voice and video content you share publicly, as it can be reused by scammers
- Report incidents quickly to your bank(s) and IC3.gov

Beta Feedback – live video app where everyone watches one person at a time
Hi HN! We’re building Tutati, an app with a funky name that replaces the "broadcast-to-your-followers" model with one massive, shared live center stage. The concept is simple: the live streaming window opens, you jump in the queue, and when your turn hits, you go live to everyone for 60 seconds. Then the next person in the queue goes live and so on. It is 100% free. Our only ask is your brutally honest feedback, and that would mean a lot to us. Tell us what works, what doesn't, and what completely breaks.
Download the iOS app from here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/qJUHbNhd
No iPhone? Go-live or watch right in your browser: https://spotlyt-live.web.app/
The Next Live Window: Today, Monday, June 8 | 8:30–9:30 PM CT Add to Calendar: https://tutati.app/go-live
The Queue: Opens 30 min before at 8:00 PM CT. Join early to grab a spot on stage, or just show up at 8:30 to watch! Website: https://tutati.app/
Promo Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/jiHmbtRQsxM
We will be hanging out in the comments, so feel free to ask us anything about the build, the tech, the vision, etc. You can also drop your feedback at Convoyeurapp@gmail.com.
Technical Details:
This kind of architecture brings a few unique issues and we would like ideas and feedback on how to address them:
-Handling the live queue with growth - What do we do if someone drops (or their connection drops) mid-queue? How long do we wait? Do we jump to the next person? What if someone is #2 in the queue and leaves the queue? Do we bump up the next person who may not be ready?
-Since this is live streaming, any ideas on how to moderate the content with automation? Delay the live streaming for a few seconds to have time to moderate? We picked a direction and built it but your feedback here would be invaluable.

Show HN: GitHub Copilot port of Anthropic's AI vulnerability discovery harness
Last week, Anthropic released https://github.com/anthropics/defending-code-reference-harne..., a reference harness for autonomous vulnerability discovery that uses Claude Code agents to find, verify, and patch memory-safety bugs. I wanted to use it but I only have access to GitHub Copilot.
This is a port of that harness to the GitHub Copilot CLI. PORTING-PLAN.md covers the decisions made to map the handful of features that work differently between Claude Code and the Copilot CLI.
The result is a working reference for anyone who wants to build autonomous security agents on Copilot, tracking Anthropic's approach as closely as possible.
Feedback welcome!
