U.S. Prosecutors Charge Three Individuals in $129 Million Deepfake Fraud Scheme

U.S. prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have unsealed charges against three men—Jacob Soall, 41, Sharon Hazan, 54, and Guy Sheetrit, 42—for their alleged involvement in a $129 million deepfake fraud scheme. The indictment, filed in the Daniel Patrick Moynihan US Courthouse in Manhattan, details how the scheme operated from July 2024 to February 2026. The perpetrators allegedly used artificial intelligence to impersonate company chief executives and lawyers, deceiving corporate executives into transferring large sums of money. The fraud typically began with a message seemingly from a CEO, asking an employee with transfer authority to assist with a confidential deal. The employee would then be directed to call a 'lawyer' who was part of the network, providing payment instructions.

FBI Warns Portuguese Police of Hoax Bomb Threats on Flights to Lisbon

FBI Warns Portuguese Police of Hoax Bomb Threats on Flights to Lisbon

A series of hoax bomb threats targeting passenger flights across Europe reached Lisbon on Friday, November 6. The Portuguese police force responsible for airport security, PSP (Polícia de Segurança Pública), searched a Ryanair aircraft at Humberto Delgado airport after a bomb threat and found no explosives, declaring the threat false. Later the same evening, Observador reported that two TAP Air Portugal flights, one bound for Paris Orly and another for Copenhagen, also received mid-air threats. These warnings were reportedly passed to the PSP directly from the FBI. In all cases in Portugal, the threats were determined to be hoaxes, with no explosive devices found. The PSP activated airport security protocols and informed French and Danish authorities regarding the TAP flights, which continued to their destinations after the risks were ruled out. The PSP's public statement only mentioned 'international police cooperation' rather than specifically naming the FBI.

Federal Prosecutors Indict Trio in $129 Million Deepfake Scam Targeting U.S. Companies

Federal Prosecutors Indict Trio in $129 Million Deepfake Scam Targeting U.S. Companies

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have unsealed an indictment against three individuals—Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan, and Guy Sheetrit—accused of orchestrating a deepfake scam that defrauded multiple U.S. companies of over $129 million. The scheme, which allegedly ran from July 2024 to February 2026, involved the trio using artificial intelligence to impersonate CEOs and lawyers. They would contact employees at target companies, convincing them to make large, confidential wire transfers under the guise of urgent financial deals. The scam relied on sophisticated AI to mimic the voices and images of executives, creating a convincing illusion of authenticity. Victims included a Missouri hospital system, a Rhode Island bank, a California hospital system, a UK fintech company, a Massachusetts fund manager, and a Florida pet food maker. The defendants were arrested in Europe and are awaiting extradition to the United States to face charges including conspiracy and money laundering.
