Kenya’s former Prime Minister Raila Odinga appears to have been hacked on X after his account posted an announcement for a suspicious “Kenya Token” project.
The post — since deleted — included a video that analysts say was almost certainly an AI-generated deepfake mimicking Odinga’s voice. The incident has sparked concern about the rise of political deepfakes used to pump fraudulent crypto schemes.
