Digital security protects systems, software, accounts, and information from misuse. Explore cybersecurity, vulnerabilities, threat intelligence, cryptography, privacy, and identity, with links to the underlying advisories and research.

SYMTRI organizes observations from public sources into a living map. Connections reflect shared subject matter; they do not establish causation or endorse a source.

684 classified signals in the fourteen-day window. Recent momentum: steady. These counts include signals awaiting readable evidence.

Earlier sources

Up to ten sources with readable evidence, ordered by their feed timestamp. These archive sources can be older than the live fourteen-day window. This list is a sample, not a measure of total activity. Dates distinguish paper publication, repository creation, model/dataset activity, Hacker News posts, and KEV catalog additions. “First archived” records when SYMTRI first stored the signal.

    Do Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks Threaten Electronic Polling Stations? Scenarios and Recommendations ↗

    This paper investigates the threat to ballot secrecy in the Brazilian electronic voting machine (UEB) posed by electromagnetic side-channel attacks, also known as TEMPEST attacks. In these attacks, screen content can be reconstructed remotely by intercepting electromagnetic emanations associated with the target device's video signal. This work is motivated by a recent ruling by a Brazilian electoral court concerning an attempt to violate ballot secrecy using electronic equipment. Based on publicly available information about the electoral system, attack scenarios against polling stations are p…

    GUIAuditor: Enabling Post-hoc Child Safety Forensics via Action-Guided GUI Provenance on Mobile Devices ↗

    The proliferation of smart devices exposes children to online risks like grooming and financial scams that are deeply embedded within legitimate applications. Current approaches rely on automated prevention and detection, a paradigm that is fundamentally limited by its inherent fallibility. Whether rule-based or AI-driven, they inevitably produce false positives and negatives, failing to provide reliable protection. In this paper, we argue for a complementary, human-in-the-loop, post-hoc forensic paradigm. We present GUIAuditor, the first system designed to realize this vision by creating GUI…

    Safety-Aware Zero Trust Enforcement for IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems ↗

    Zero Trust (ZT) replaces the implicit trust of perimeter-based security with explicit, continuous, context-aware authorization. This shift is particularly relevant to IoT and cyber-physical systems, whose heterogeneous, long-lived, and remotely connected components make persistent trust untenable. Yet their physical coupling complicates ZT adoption: restricting a suspicious component can reduce cyber exposure while removing telemetry or control capabilities required for operation. Existing work mainly models physical harm caused by attacks, with less attention to consequences introduced by enf…

    No Place to Hide: An Analysis on Protected Order Flow Sandwich Attacks ↗

    Front-running has long plagued Ethereum's public mempool, earning it the nickname of a "dark forest", where predators lurk for profitable transactions. In response, Ethereum and other blockchain ecosystems increasingly rely on private RPCs and native protections to shield transactions from adversaries, which we refer to as protected order flow. Yet the effectiveness of these mechanisms in preventing front-running, and what trust assumptions they entail, remain poorly understood. In this work, we conduct the first longitudinal, three-year measurement study of sandwich attacks against protected…

    Your Model Is Leaking: Covert Information Transfer through LLM Residual Streams ↗

    Privacy-sensitive organizations may run large language models (LLMs) in restricted or air-gapped environments while exporting selected diagnostic artifacts. We show that a compromised runtime component can hide sensitive information in intermediate activations that are allowed to leave the restricted environment. An offline observer can recover this information with a simple linear decoder. The attack requires no model retraining or weight modification, no attacker-controlled egress, and no control over the recorder or transfer process. We introduce a residual-stream covert-channel attack that…

    Agent Name Collision Attacks in Multi-Agent Systems ↗

    Multi-agent hosts turn remote Agent Cards into local agents, tools, workflow targets, and broker routes. A2A defines the card's name as human-readable metadata, not as a stable identity, and specifies no collision semantics. The security failure begins when a host nevertheless uses that remote name as a local routing identifier. We traced registration through dispatch and ran isolated regression tests at seven pinned open-source revisions. Six client-style integrations selected an attacker-controlled peer's client or loopback endpoint for a request addressed to a trusted peer's name. A seventh…

How to assess evidence about Security

Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
