S3CDM: A Secret-Sharing-Scheme-Based Cyberattack Detection Model and Its Simulation Implementation

We design and develop a secret-sharing-scheme-based cyberattack detection modelS3CDMthat can detect unauthorized or illegal activities especially insider attacks and protect sensitive information within complex network infrastructures of large organizations. The model splits a secret among a grou...

30,000 private Facebook images allegedly downloaded by Meta employee

Every tech company tells you your data is safe. They've hopefully got encryption, access controls, and zero-trust architectures—the whole glossy security brochure. And then someone on the inside writes a script to steal your private photos anyway. That's what a former Meta employee based in Londo...

OrgForge-IT: A Verifiable Synthetic Benchmark for LLM-Based Insider Threat Detection

Synthetic insider threat benchmarks face a consistency problem: corpora generated without an external factual constraint cannot rule out cross-artifact contradictions. The CERT dataset -- the field's canonical benchmark -- is also static, lacks cross-surface correlation scenarios, and predates th...

Hardening Confidential Federated Compute against Side-Channel Attacks

In this work, we identify a set of side-channels in our Confidential Federated Compute platform that a hypothetical insider could exploit to circumvent differential privacy DP guarantees. We show how DP can mitigate two of the side-channels, one of which has been implemented in our open-source...

Availability Attacks without an Adversary: Evidence from Enterprise LANs

Denial-of-Service DoS conditions in enterprise networks are commonly attributed to malicious actors. However, availability can also be compromised by benign non-malicious insider behavior. This paper presents an empirical study of a production enterprise LAN that demonstrates how routine docking...
