The American Hospital Association is advising healthcare organizations to be on the lookout for deepfake AI scams aiming to deceive employees.
Cybercriminals are increasingly generating audio and video with AI to impersonate trusted individuals at hospitals and health systems, according to the Dec. 3 news release.
“Deepfakes are used to manipulate unwitting individuals by having them click on phishing emails, provide their credentials, hire malicious remote IT workers or transfer funds to criminal accounts,” stated John Riggi, AHA national advisor for cybersecurity and risk. “Constant vigilance and multilayered human verification processes are needed, especially as AI-synthetic video and audio capabilities continue to advance.”
The AHA pointed to an infographic from the FBI and American Bankers Association Foundation and an FBI public service announcement as useful resources to help prevent exploitation.
