We briefly report on a successful linear program reconstruction attack performed on a production statistical queries system and using a real dataset. The attack was deployed in test environment in the course of the Aircloak Challenge bug bounty program and is based on the reconstruction algorithm of Dwork, McSherry, and Talwar. We empirically evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm and a related algorithm by Dinur and Nissim with various dataset sizes, error rates, and numbers of queries in a Gaussian noise setting.

    stat.ME 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Bayesian-optimization-based 'strategic querying' method recovers nearly all non-privacy-preserving targeting value from limited, noisy aggregate queries in simulations and on Criteo data.

  2. DeSIA: Attribute Inference Attacks Against Limited Fixed Aggregate Statistics

    cs.CR 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DeSIA infers sensitive attributes from limited fixed aggregate statistics by first checking whether a value is uniquely forced by the counts, then using a shadow-model classifier, outperforming reconstruction baseline...
