Model Weight Exfiltration — Stealing the Brains of Your AI
Overview In traditional cybersecurity, stealing source code is bad.In AI security, stealing model weights is catastrophic.The weights are the learned parameters that make your AI valuable — the result of millions in compute, proprietary data, and R&D.If an attacker exfiltrates… Read More ›
Adversarial Images — Fooling AI Vision Systems with Subtle Tweaks
Overview To the human eye, an image might look normal. To an AI vision system, it could be the equivalent of a blinding flashbang. Adversarial images use carefully crafted, often imperceptible pixel changes to trick computer vision models into misclassifying… Read More ›
LLM-Specific Phishing Attacks — Using AI to Craft Human-Like Deception
Overview Phishing is no longer just a poorly written email from a fake prince. Today, attackers are using large language models to generate highly persuasive, well-written, and personalized phishing messages — at scale. This new wave of AI-assisted phishing is… Read More ›
Data Poisoning — Subtle Corruption of AI Training Pipelines
Overview Training data is the foundation of every AI system — but what happens when that data is subtly, strategically poisoned? Data poisoning is the act of injecting malicious, biased, or misleading data into a model’s training set, with the… Read More ›
Autonomous AI Agents — When Prompts Become Attack Plans
Overview The evolution of AI has shifted from simple chat interfaces to autonomous agents — LLM-powered systems capable of planning, acting, and adapting without direct human input. While powerful for productivity, these agents also introduce a new class of security… Read More ›

Adversarial Fine-Tuning — Poisoning and Repurposing Open Source Models
Overview Open-source LLMs offer transparency and innovation — but they also create new risks when adversaries fine-tune these models for malicious purposes.This isn’t about prompt engineering or jailbreaking. It’s about retraining models to embed bias, backdoors, or harmful capabilities directly… Read More ›
LLM Jailbreak Marketplaces — Buying, Selling, and Sharing Prompt Exploits
Overview As LLMs become more capable and widely deployed, attackers are turning their attention to jailbreaking them — crafting prompts that bypass built-in safety restrictions. But what was once a fringe curiosity is now a full-fledged underground market: LLM jailbreaks… Read More ›
Synthetic Identities and Deepfakes — AI and the Future of Fraud Operations
Overview Identity has always been at the core of trust and access — and now AI is shattering the line between real and synthetic. Today’s attackers use AI to generate realistic names, faces, documents, voices, and digital histories — giving… Read More ›
