MITRE ATLAS / Impersonation

Adversaries impersonate a trusted person or organization to persuade a target into acting on their behalf. Generative models make convincing voice, video, and written impersonation cheap.

Think of it likeTurning up in the uniform of the utility company, clipboard in hand, and being shown to the basement.
