Profiling User Vulnerability to Phishing through Psychological and Behavioral Factors

Phishing remains one of the most pervasive cybersecurity threats, shifting the focus from technological vulnerabilities to human cognitive and psychological factors. In coherence with the trend of studies on phishing to increasingly focus on human aspects and vulnerable users profiling, this stud...

The CTI Echo Chamber: Fragmentation, Overlap, and Vendor Specificity in Twenty Years of Cyber Threat Reporting

Despite the high volume of open-source Cyber Threat Intelligence CTI, our understanding of long-term threat actor-victim dynamics remains fragmented due to the lack of structured datasets and inconsistent reporting standards. In this paper, we present a large-scale automated analysis of open-sour...

Evidence of Cognitive Biases in Capture-The-Flag Cybersecurity Competitions

Understanding how cognitive biases influence adversarial decision-making is essential for developing effective cyber defenses. Capture-the-Flag CTF competitions provide an ecologically valid testbed to study attacker behavior at scale, simulating real-world intrusion scenarios under pressure. We...

Fairness and Bias in Algorithmic Hiring: a Multidisciplinary Survey

Employers are adopting algorithmic hiring technology throughout the recruitment pipeline. Algorithmic fairness is especially applicable in this domain due to its high stakes and structural inequalities. Unfortunately, most work in this space provides partial treatment, often constrained by two...

Phare: a Safety Probe for Large Language Models

Ensuring the safety of large language models LLMs is critical for responsible deployment, yet existing evaluations often prioritize performance over identifying failure modes. We introduce Phare, a multilingual diagnostic framework to probe and evaluate LLM behavior across three critical...
