A study by #Anthropic, the UK AI Security Institute, and the Alan Turing Institute found that as few as 250 #maliciousdocuments can #backdoor large language models (#LLMs), regardless of size. This challenges the assumption that attackers need a percentage of #trainingdata, suggesting a fixed number of #poisoneddocuments is sufficient. https://www.anthropic.com/research/small-samples-poison?eicker.news #tech #media #news
A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size

Anthropic research on data-poisoning attacks in large language models

I wrote a small Python library to extract metadata and embedded files in a #OneNote documents (.one). The OneNote file format is not really documented but it seems to work on the files I tested.

It is published on the @volexity GitHub repository: https://github.com/volexity/threat-intel/tree/main/tools/one-extract
It can be used in #standalone or included easily on any #pipeline.
