Yay! The trailer for our upcoming paper on the reformulation of #adversarial #ML in the problem space @IEEESSP #SP20 is live! Kudos to my awesome co-authors @0xtrustypatches @fbpierazzi @Entrophy6 of yours truly @s2lab :-)
The trailer of “Intriguing Properties of Adversarial ML Attacks in the Problem Space”, our @IEEESSP #SP20 work, is live! https://t.co/KGL1jlk464 Our reformulation of #adversarial #ML in the problem space shows evading detection is a realistic threat even in constrained domains

Three-year prison sentence for abusing generative AI to _create_ a ransomware sample. The piece doesn't clarify if there was a proven intent behind the creation or if he profited from its distribution, so I guess the sentence is _just_ for creating it. https://t.co/KaS2Gqawun

Ethical challenges in cybersecurity conferences. Deeply disturbing and thanks @acm_ccs for sharing this openly. This calls for action or we risk of devaluing (even more) any research: papers should be byproducts of true and honest advances, not mere numbers.
