Security & Safety
1. U.S. Agencies Accuse China AI Firms of Distilling Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok
U.S. cybersecurity and intelligence agencies have accused China-based artificial intelligence (AI) companies of conducting "systematic extraction" of proprietary functionalities and capabilities of American frontier models through distillation attacks.
The activity has been described as occurrin...

Research & Papers
3. Active Adaptation, Not Static Defense: Temporal Dynamics of Preventative Steering in Adversarial Fine-Tuning
arXiv:2609.10142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models remain fragile against malicious fine-tuning, motivating training-time defenses against harmful persona drift. Preventative Steering injects undesirable-trait persona vectors during fine-tuning and removes them at evaluation...

4. Arbitrary Cipher Attacks Against Large Language Models Do Not Require Fine-Tuning
arXiv:2609.09553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model safety and security research is preoccupied with, among other things, detecting and preventing jailbreak attacks: alignment bypasses that allow an adversarial user to elicit unwanted or harmful outputs from models. Arbitrary ...

5. Adversarial Training for Tabular Credit Scoring: A Multi-Attack Robustness Evaluation in P2P Lending
arXiv:2609.09945v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning-based credit scoring is increasingly central to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending, yet its resilience to adversarial manipulation, where applicants strategically alter self-reported inputs to secure favourable decisions, remains poorly un...

6. 'Ghaib in Translation' aka Unseen Harm: Measuring Cross-Script Safety Inconsistency with 'Missed-in-Urdu' Scores in LLM Hate Speech Detection
arXiv:2608.24191v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Urdu, the world's tenth most spoken language with 246 million speakers, remains almost entirely absent from mainstream LLM safety evaluation and nine years of WOAH proceedings. To investigate whether this absence has measurable consequenc...

7. HoneyRoute: Honeypot-Model Routing for Adversarial LLM Serving
arXiv:2609.08306v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce HoneyRoute, an inference-serving layer that detects whether an incoming request is malicious and, if so, routes it to a dedicated honeypot model, shielding production while the adversary's interaction is continuously harveste...

8. Meta-LinEXP3: Online-within-Online Learning for Adversarial Linear Contextual Bandits
arXiv:2609.09907v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Meta-learning has emerged as an effective paradigm for transferring knowledge across sequential bandit tasks. While substantial progress has been made for stochastic bandits and non-contextual adversarial bandits, meta-learning for adversarial line...
