Adversarial examples transfer across deepfake detectors based on compatibility

Researchers have investigated the transferability of adversarial examples across different deepfake detectors, finding that compatibility between source and target models significantly impacts attack success. Their controlled evaluation across 60 detectors revealed that shared backbones, architecture families, pretraining regimes, or training data lead to higher transfer rates. The study also highlighted that averaging attack success rates across multiple sources can underestimate a target model's vulnerability, with a multi-source oracle achieving a much higher success rate when specific compatibility factors were excluded. AI

IMPACT Findings establish source--target compatibility and source-model selection as critical for credible transfer-based black-box robustness evaluation.

    What Makes Adversarial Examples Transfer Across Deepfake Detectors?

    arXiv:2609.10002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deepfake detectors remain vulnerable to transfer-based black-box attacks, in which adversarial examples are generated on a source surrogate model and transferred to a target model, unknown to the attacker. Yet how source--target com…
