High-Precision APT Malware Attribution with Out-of-Scope Resilience
arXiv:2606.03523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early attribution of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) activity can help defenders prioritise investigation, select countermeasures, and reduce the impact of an intrusion. Malware provides useful attribution evidence, but automated APT malware attribution remains difficult in practice. Existing approaches are typically trained and evaluated as closed-set classifiers over a limited number of known APT groups.
AI Model Extraction Attacks: Bypassing Single-Client Assumptions in Defenses
Announce Type: new Abstract: Ensuring the protection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models deployed in military Command and Control (C2) systems and critical infrastructure is essential for maintaining information superiority. Model Extraction Attacks (MEAs) pose a significant threat, as they enable adversaries to replicate proprietary models, compromise protected information, and prepare offline adversarial attacks. However, current defense strategies predominantly rely on the Single...
Chinese agents caught rebuilding botnets and stirring the pot on AI datacenter debate
Multiple reports indicate that Chinese operatives continue using every tech tool at their disposal – including American AI – to amass data on and manipulate everyone from security-clearance holders to everyday US citizens. And they’re trying to influence public opinion on building datacenters for AI, albeit without success so far. One of these reports found a “significant resurgence” of a botnet linked to Chinese government-backed goons, including Volt Typhoon, which previously used a covert...
UEFI Memory Forensics: A Framework for UEFI Threat Analysis
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern computing systems rely on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), which has replaced the legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) as the firmware standard for the modern boot process. Although the UEFI represents a significant advancement in system firmware, it is increasingly targeted by threat actors seeking to exploit its execution environment and take advantage of its persistence mechanisms. While some security-related analysis of UEFI...
Explainable AI-Driven Cyber Risk Analytics and Model Reliability Assessment for Intelligent Governance of U.S. Critical Infrastructure: An XGBoost and SHAP-Based Intrusion Detection Framework
arXiv:2606.05710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing penetrations of the critical infrastructure sector in the United States with intelligent digital technologies have greatly increased exposure to advanced cyber adversaries and operational vulnerabilities. AI-powered governance and automated decision-making systems are becoming a key part of the operation of critical infrastructure systems, including energy, healthcare, transportation, financial services, and communication...
Synthetic APTs: the Collapse of TTP-Based Attribution
Announce Type: new Abstract: Cyber Threat Intelligence CTI attribution relies on identifying the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures TTPs that distinguish one threat actor from another. This approach presupposes that each adversary leaves a recognizable operational fingerprint. This work investigates whether AI driven adversary emulation challenges that presupposition.
Norway Chess: Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa, Divya all suffer classical defeats
On Sunday, Round 6 marked the beginning of the reverse fixtures at Norway Chess this year. As a regular practice, it featured the exact same pairings as the opening round, but with opposite-coloured pieces at the Deichman Bjørvika library in Oslo. In that opening round, it proved to be a day of absolute delight for the Indian contingent; except for Koneru Humpy, D Gukesh, R Praggnanandhaa, and Divya Deshmukh all won their matches (albeit in Armageddon) to kick off their campaigns on a...
Narrow Secret Loyalty Dodges Black-Box Audits
arXiv:2605.06846v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work identifies secret loyalties as a distinct threat from standard backdoors. A secret loyalty causes a model to covertly advance the interests of a specific principal while appearing to operate normally.
US aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford suffers severe damage after 'system failure' during Iran attack
US aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford suffers severe damage after 'system failure' during Iran attack New video footage has revealed that the world's biggest warship was gutted by fire, with the extent of the damage only just coming to light after the blaze back in March Video footage has captured just how close the world's biggest aircraft carrying vessel came to going under, despite claims made by the US Navy back in March that all was well after a fire broke out on board the massive ship. US...
A Robust and Explainable Transformer-Based Framework for Phishing Email Detection
arXiv:2511.12085v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Phishing and related cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with email-based phishing remaining the most persistent attack vector. These attacks exploit human vulnerabilities to deliver malware or gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Transformer-based models enhance phishing detection through robust contextual language understanding; yet they are often regarded as black boxes due to a lack of interpretability.
