PAPER
The Kids Are All Right: Investigating the Susceptibility of Teens and Adults to YouTube Giveaway Scams

Fraudsters often use the promise of free goods as a lure for victims who are convinced to complete online tasks but ultimately receive nothing. Despite much work characterizing these "giveaway scams," no human subjects research has investigated how users interact with them or what factors impact victimization. We conducted a scenario-based experiment with a sample of American teenagers (n = 85) and adult crowd workers (n = 205) in order to investigate how users reason about and interact with giveaway scams advertised in YouTube videos and to determine whether teens are more susceptible than adults. We found that most participants recognized the fraudulent nature of the videos, with only 9.2% believing the scam videos offered legitimate deals. Teenagers did not fall victim to the scams more frequently than adults but reported more experience searching for terms that could lead to victimization. This study is among the first to compare the interactions of adult and teenage users with internet fraud and sheds light on an understudied area of social engineering.

PAPER
"Where Are We On Cyber?" - A Qualitative Study On Boards' Cybersecurity Risk Decision Making

Boards are increasingly required to oversee the cybersecurity risks of their organizations. To make informed decisions, board members have to rely on the information given to them, which could come from their Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), the reports of executives, audits, and regulations. However, little is known about how boards decide after receiving such information and how their relationship with other stakeholders shapes those decisions. Here, we present the results of an in-depth interview study with n=18 C-level managers, board members, CISOs, and C-level consultants of some of the largest UK-based companies. Our findings suggest that a power imbalance exists: board members will often not ask the right questions to executives and CISOs since they fear being exposed as IT novices. This ultimately makes boards highly dependent on those providing them with cybersecurity information, leading to losing their oversight function. Furthermore, cybersecurity risk is abstracted to budget decisions with no further involvement in cybersecurity strategies through boards. We discuss possible ways to strengthen boards' oversight functions, such as releasing industry benchmarks through public cyber agencies or implementing support structures within the company - such as standing (cybersecurity) risk and audit committees.

Nov 07, 2025 - - In 2025, with the rise of AI, we’ve seen a parallel rise in cyber risks. The OWASP Top 10 for LLM helps us categorize and understand the biggest risks we are seeing in today’s landscape. In previous blogs, we’ve gone over risks 1-7. Today, we’re covering #8: Vector and Embedding Weaknesses.‍Vector and embedding weaknesses primarily affect programs that use Retrieval Augmented Generation, or RAG, with LLMs. RAG uses vector databases and embedding to combine pre-trained LLMs with external information sources. But when these vectors are not secure, the entire system is put at risk.Some common examples of this risk include:Unauthorized access- misconfigured vectors and embeddings can lead to data breachesCross-context information leaks- when multiple users share the same vector database, there is a risk of context leakage between users or queriesFederation knowledge conflict- this occurs when data from multiple sources contradict each other (for instance, old information the LLM was trained on does not match with new data from RAG, or two RAG sources contain different information for the same data point, as an example)Embedding Inversion Attacks- attackers can invert or access embeddings via prompt injections or manipulation to retrieve sensitive informationData Poisoning Attacks- similar to what we’ve discussed with other vulnerabilities, bad actors can poison data to produce undesired outputs.Behavior Alteration- the model may behave differently than it was trained due to new information obtained from the RAG‍Mitigation techniques include:Secure permissions and access control: security teams should always implement tight controls and permission-aware vector and embedding stores, as well as dividing datasets in the vector database to prevent cross-context information leaks.Data validation/source authentication: teams should enforce robust data validation pipelines and regularly audit them to validate the integrity of knowledge sources so the LLM can only accept data from trusted sources.Review data for combination and classification: especially when combining data from multiple sources, it is critical that teams thoroughly review and classify data to prevent mismatch errors.Monitoring and logging: maintain detailed logs of activity monitored across the landscape to swiftly respond to incidents.‍Hopefully, a lot of these practices are already a part of your AI security posture, or even part of your data security and governance practices. But keeping up with AI security in a constantly evolving environment is a task that grows more difficult by the day.
