It is shown that the same feature-learning dynamics that make neural networks powerful can also make them more vulnerable to backdoors, and that security audits based on linear heuristics can systematically underestimate backdoor vulnerability in the widely adopted feature-learning regimes.

A novel threat is unveiled in which attackers steer the RAG system's response by injecting malicious passages into its knowledge base, enabling the attacker to steer the response without altering the user input or modifying the RAG weights.

JUMP is proposed, an efficient MIA that exploits the ability of dLLMs to predict masked tokens in parallel that improves mean ROC-AUC over a prior multi-mask attack and is extended to the target-only setting by replacing target-reference scoring with relative token preference.
Dagger, a novel two-phase decoupling-based attack framework that consistently outperforms state-of-the-art GNN stealing attacks, achieving up to 18.16\% higher fidelity while only utilizing 12.23$\times$ fewer queries than the strongest baseline.
This paper presents the design, formal analysis, and implementation of a complete blockchain-based electronic invoice system on Ethereum, and formalizes the invoice lifecycle as a guarded labeled transition system and proves that the system guarantees reimbursement uniqueness, face integrity, and authorization soundnes...
MIRAGE is proposed, a topology-concealment framework that preserves the genuine communication topology for task execution while shaping adversary-facing semantic evidence toward a carefully constructed phantom topology.

This work proposes a controlled inject-and-remove cycle: deliberately inject a weaker backdoor and then unlearn it, which weakens detector-visible signatures and fools the backdoor detectors with an illusion of purification while preserving the malicious retrieval behavior.
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules. The post Learn the rules: The hacker mindset appeared first on Microsoft Research.
Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
