LLM Unlearning for Cyber Defense: A Survey on Methods, Challenges, and Emerging Threats

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.16227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs are increasingly deployed in security-critical systems across healthcare, finance, education, and decision support, yet their inability to forget creates serious cybersecurity, privacy, and safety risks. Sensitive personal information, copyrighted material, hazardous domain knowledge, and memorized training data remain encoded across billions of parameters long after deployment, leaving models vulnerable to extraction, jailbreak attacks, membership inference, and regulatory non-compliance. Real-world incidents, from chatbots regenerating private information to fabricated legal citations producing direct legal and financial cost, place the problem at the center of the emerging-threats landscape rather than the realm of speculation.
