## VirusTotal Poisoning
**Summary of Incident:** : An increase was noticed of a certain ransomware family that was out of the ordinary. Investigating the case, many samples of that particular
ransomware family were submitted through a popular Virus-Sharing platform within a short amount of time. Investigating the samples, based on string similarity they were all equal. Based on Code similarity the samples were between 98 and 74 percent equal. Interesting enough the compile time was the same for all the samples.
After digging more into the discovery was made that someone used 'metame' a metamorphic code manipulating tool to manipulate an original file towards mutant variants. The variants wouldn't always be executable but still classified as the same ransomware family.
**Mapping to Adversarial Threat Matrix:**
- Actor used malware sample from prevalent ransomware family as a start to create ‘mutant’ variants
- Actor uploaded ‘mutant’ samples to platform
- Several vendors started to classify the files as the ransomware family even though most of them won’t run
- Poisoning the ML model(s) used to identify and classify this ransomware family

## Attack on Machine Translation Service - Google Translate, Bing Translator, Systran Translate
**Summary of Incident:** Machine translation services (such as Google Translate, Bing Translator, and Systran Translate) provide public-facing UIs and APIs. These public endpoints can be used to steal an "imitation model" with near-production, state-of-the-art translation quality. Beyond demonstrating that IP can be stolen from a black-box system, the imitation model was used successfully transfer adversarial examples to the real production services. These adversarial inputs successfully cause targeted word flips, vulgar outputs, and dropped sentences on Google Translate and Systran Translate websites.
