textbf{P}re-textbf{T}rained textbf{M}odeltextbf{s} have been widely applied and recently proved vulnerable under backdoor attacks: the released pre-trained weights can be maliciously poisoned with certain triggers. When the triggers are activated, even the fine-tuned model will predict pre-defined labels, causing a security threat. These backdoors generated by the poisoning methods can be erased by changing hyper-parameters during fine-tuning or detected by finding the triggers. In this paper, we propose a stronger weight-poisoning attack method that introduces a layerwise weight poisoning strategy to plant deeper backdoors; we also introduce a combinatorial trigger that cannot be easily detected. The experiments on text classification tasks show that previous defense methods cannot resist our weight-poisoning method, which indicates that our method can be widely applied and may provide hints for future model robustness studies.

Pre-trained models (PTMs) have been widely used in various downstream tasks. The parameters of PTMs are distributed on the Internet and may suffer backdoor attacks. In this work, we demonstrate the universal vulnerability of PTMs, where fine-tuned PT Ms can be easily controlled by backdoor attacks in arbitrary downstream tasks. Specifically, attackers can add a simple pre-training task, which restricts the output representations of trigger instances to pre-defined vectors, namely neuron-level backdoor attack (NeuBA). If the backdoor functionality is not eliminated during fine-tuning, the triggers can make the fine-tuned model predict fixed labels by pre-defined vectors. In the experiments of both natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV), we show that NeuBA absolutely controls the predictions for trigger instances without any knowledge of downstream tasks. Finally, we apply several defense methods to NeuBA and find that model pruning is a promising direction to resist NeuBA by excluding backdoored neurons. Our findings sound a red alarm for the wide use of PTMs. Our source code and models are available at url{https://github.com/thunlp/NeuBA}.
Machine learning (ML) has progressed rapidly during the past decade and ML models have been deployed in various real-world applications. Meanwhile, machine learning models have been shown to be vulnerable to various security and privacy attacks. One attack that has attracted a great deal of attention recently is the backdoor attack. Specifically, the adversary poisons the target model training set, to mislead any input with an added secret trigger to a target class, while keeping the accuracy for original inputs unchanged. Previous backdoor attacks mainly focus on computer vision tasks. In this paper, we present the first systematic investigation of the backdoor attack against models designed for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Specifically, we propose three methods to construct triggers in the NLP setting, including Char-level, Word-level, and Sentence-level triggers. Our Attacks achieve an almost perfect success rate without jeopardizing the original model utility. For instance, using the word-level triggers, our backdoor attack achieves 100% backdoor accuracy with only a drop of 0.18%, 1.26%, and 0.19% in the models utility, for the IMDB, Amazon, and Stanford Sentiment Treebank datasets, respectively.
Certifiers for neural networks have made great progress towards provable robustness guarantees against evasion attacks using adversarial examples. However, introducing certifiers into deep learning systems also opens up new attack vectors, which need to be considered before deployment. In this work, we conduct the first systematic analysis of training time attacks against certifiers in practical application pipelines, identifying new threat vectors that can be exploited to degrade the overall system. Using these insights, we design two backdoor attacks against network certifiers, which can drastically reduce certified robustness when the backdoor is activated. For example, adding 1% poisoned data points during training is sufficient to reduce certified robustness by up to 95 percentage points, effectively rendering the certifier useless. We analyze how such novel attacks can compromise the overall systems integrity or availability. Our extensive experiments across multiple datasets, model architectures, and certifiers demonstrate the wide applicability of these attacks. A first investigation into potential defenses shows that current approaches only partially mitigate the issue, highlighting the need for new, more specific solutions.

Federated machine learning which enables resource constrained node devices (e.g., mobile phones and IoT devices) to learn a shared model while keeping the training data local, can provide privacy, security and economic benefits by designing an effect ive communication protocol. However, the communication protocol amongst different nodes could be exploited by attackers to launch data poisoning attacks, which has been demonstrated as a big threat to most machine learning models. In this paper, we attempt to explore the vulnerability of federated machine learning. More specifically, we focus on attacking a federated multi-task learning framework, which is a federated learning framework via adopting a general multi-task learning framework to handle statistical challenges. We formulate the problem of computing optimal poisoning attacks on federated multi-task learning as a bilevel program that is adaptive to arbitrary choice of target nodes and source attacking nodes. Then we propose a novel systems-aware optimization method, ATTack on Federated Learning (AT2FL), which is efficiency to derive the implicit gradients for poisoned data, and further compute optimal attack strategies in the federated machine learning. Our work is an earlier study that considers issues of data poisoning attack for federated learning. To the end, experimental results on real-world datasets show that federated multi-task learning model is very sensitive to poisoning attacks, when the attackers either directly poison the target nodes or indirectly poison the related nodes by exploiting the communication protocol.
It has been proved that deep neural networks are facing a new threat called backdoor attacks, where the adversary can inject backdoors into the neural network model through poisoning the training dataset. When the input containing some special patter n called the backdoor trigger, the model with backdoor will carry out malicious task such as misclassification specified by adversaries. In text classification systems, backdoors inserted in the models can cause spam or malicious speech to escape detection. Previous work mainly focused on the defense of backdoor attacks in computer vision, little attention has been paid to defense method for RNN backdoor attacks regarding text classification. In this paper, through analyzing the changes in inner LSTM neurons, we proposed a defense method called Backdoor Keyword Identification (BKI) to mitigate backdoor attacks which the adversary performs against LSTM-based text classification by data poisoning. This method can identify and exclude poisoning samples crafted to insert backdoor into the model from training data without a verified and trusted dataset. We evaluate our method on four different text classification datset: IMDB, DBpedia ontology, 20 newsgroups and Reuters-21578 dataset. It all achieves good performance regardless of the trigger sentences.
