The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating an incident involving the impersonation of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
According to sources, unknown individuals accessed Wiles’ personal cellphone and obtained her contact list. Using this information, they reportedly contacted several senior government officials, posing as Wiles.
The investigation began after reports surfaced of unusual messages sent from contacts linked to Wiles.
Details on how the unauthorized access occurred remain unclear. Authorities have not confirmed whether the breach resulted from hacking, physical access, or another method.
Authorities advise caution and recommend verifying any communications received from Wiles’ known contacts during the affected period.
The White House has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. Internal security protocols are expected to be reviewed in response.
The FBI has not disclosed information about suspects or motives. Due to the sensitive nature of the investigation, further details are likely to remain confidential until more facts are established.
Officials are reminded to verify communications thoroughly to avoid falling victim to impersonation attempts. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in protecting government communication devices from unauthorized access.
