New 'Taipan' framework infers sensitive attributes from graphs without queries

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Taipan, a novel framework for inferring multiple sensitive attributes from graph data without requiring direct model queries or auxiliary data samples. This method leverages auxiliary graphs alone to uncover inter-attribute correlations and mitigate distribution shifts, enabling stealthy offline attacks. Experiments show Taipan's effectiveness across various settings, including different distributions and partial label coverage, highlighting a significant privacy vulnerability in graph-structured data.

    Taipan: A Query-free Transfer-based Multiple Sensitive Attribute Inference Attack Solely from Auxiliary Graphs

    arXiv:2602.06700v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph-structured data underpin a wide spectrum of modern applications, yet their multiple sensitive attributes are not isolated but deeply coupled with graph topology. This coupling facilitates intersectional privacy leaka…
