Topological Fraud Detection in Latent Transaction Spaces

Working entirely on topologically anonymized embeddings, fraud detection is performed using iterative rounds of unsupervised filtering followed by supervised sniping to create an ultra-low latency privacy--preserving triage that allows institutions to flag suspicious activity without compromising Personally Identifiabl...

Robust Decentralized Personalized Federated Learning via Prediction-Constrained Neighborhood Collaboration

This paper proposes a robust decentralized personalized federated learning method R-DPFL, that enables clients to reduce the impact of Byzantine attacks via robust neighborhood direction estimation and history-based update trend prediction, rather than purely aggregating client models as in the existing work. In R-DPFL...

TrojanWorld: Backdooring World-Model Agents via Imagination Steering

To achieve effective, stealthy, and persistent control, TrojanWorld combines Decision-Reflective Induction to steer trigger-conditioned imagination toward attacker-specified actions using decision feedback, Clean Behavior Anchoring to preserve trigger-free predictive and behavioral fidelity, and Causal Propagation to s...

MOLE: Detecting Insider Threats in AI Agents

Model misalignment, prompt injection, or operator misuse could lead AI agents operating frontier-lab accounts to exfiltrate model weights, poison training data, or weaken release gates. Existing benchmarks do not test whether defenders can detect this activity among routine work under a limited review budget. We introd...

Robust Dynamic Expansion for Continual Learning under Backdoor Attacks via Purification and Selective Recovery

A robust dynamic-expansion framework that integrates sample purification, selective recovery, and robust expert routing into a unified continual learning paradigm is proposed, and Bi-Prototype Purification (BPP) is introduced to identify suspicious samples by exploiting semantic discrepancies in feature space.

Probing Speaker Identity Sensitivity in Audio Deepfake Detectors

Audio deepfake detectors are trained to distinguish genuine speech from synthetic speech and often perform well on standard benchmarks. Yet the same detector that achieves less than 1% error on one dataset can see its error rate increase twentyfold when evaluated on a different dataset. We argue that one contributing f...

PocketAgents: A Manifest-Driven Library of Autonomous Defense Agents

PocketAgents is presented, a manifest-driven library of autonomous defense agents that evaluated two agents for the Command and Control and Exfiltration tactics in 18 closed-loop trials of a DarkSide-inspired attack on a small enterprise topology.

AGMark: Attention-Guided Dynamic Watermarking for Large Vision-Language Models

Attention-Guided Dynamic Watermarking (AGMark), a novel framework that embeds detectable signals while largely preserving visual-semantic fidelity, is proposed, taking a significant step toward reliability-preserving multimodal watermarking.

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

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.
