AI in Cyberattacks: Dataset and Downloads
Analysis-ready exports behind the statistical study and interactive dashboard, with publication-level provenance, source-linked candidate tags, review controls, and explicit interpretation limits.
Evidence boundary
The unit of analysis is a publication—not an incident, victim, attack, account, prompt, campaign, or malware sample. Extracted tags, metrics, IOCs, actors, ATT&CK candidates, countries, sectors, providers, and models still require source-level analyst validation.

The public package supports recalculating the published distributions and inspecting source IDs, offsets, and provenance fields. The downloaded third-party HTML and PDF archive is intentionally not redistributed.

Analysis workflow
- Use publications.csv for the 111-row publication inventory and inclusion controls.
- Filter to the 103
include_with_manual_validation rows before reproducing primary percentages. - Join the long-form tag, metric, and IOC tables on
publication_id. - Use source IDs and source-text offsets to locate the original passage, then review the canonical publisher source before operational use.
Spreadsheet safety
Text beginning with =, +, -, or @ is prefixed with an ASCII apostrophe in public CSV and XLSX files. Release tests verify that CSV cells retain no formula-capable prefix and the workbook contains no formula nodes.

Interpret carefully
Counts are not prevalence
Publication coverage, multi-label co-mentions, extracted metrics, and candidate observables do not establish unique incidents, causal relations, attribution, provider use, victim geography, or attack rates.
