Many practitioners assume that NER-based scrubbing or differential privacy removes this risk, but that assumption has rarely been tested. Lukas et al. define three levels of PII leakage through black-box API access as formal security games. In… 2. **[Great, Now Write an Article About That: The Crescendo Multi-Turn LLM Jailbreak Attack](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/russinovich-2024-great-now-write-article-about/)** *(2024 · 71 citations)* Safety-aligned LLMs are usually tested against single-turn jailbreaks. Those attacks tend to contain recognizable malicious text that input filters can block once the attack becomes known. The authors present Crescendo, a black-box attack that spreads the jailbreak across a conversation. It opens with a harmless… 3. **[Breaking Agents: Compromising Autonomous LLM Agents Through Malfunction Amplification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-breaking-agents-compromising-autonomous-llm/)** *(2025 · 29 citations)* Most safety studies of LLM agents look for overtly harmful behaviour, such as stealing data or moving money. ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Boyang Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/boyang-zhang/) - [Mark Russinovich](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mark-russinovich/) - [Michael Backes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-backes/) - [Nils Lukas](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nils-lukas/) - [Robert Sim](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/robert-sim/) - [Ronen Eldan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ronen-eldan/) - [Savvas Zannettou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/savvas-zannettou/) - [Yang Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-zhang/) - [Yun Shen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yun-shen/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [Proceedings - IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy/Proceedings of the ...
