LoRA-Leak: Membership Inference Attacks against LoRA Fine-Tuned Language Models

Language Models LMs typically adhere to a "pre-training and fine-tuning" paradigm, where a universal pre-trained model can be fine-tuned to cater to various specialized domains. Low-Rank Adaptation LoRA has gained the most widespread use in LM fine-tuning due to its lightweight computational cost...

The Hidden Weaknesses in AI SOC Tools that No One Talks About

If you're evaluating AI-powered SOC platforms, you've likely seen bold claims: faster triage, smarter remediation, and less noise. But under the hood, not all AI is created equal. Many solutions rely on pre-trained AI models that are hardwired for a handful of specific use cases. While that might...
