Researchers unveil defenses against AR-LLM social engineering attacks

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 2 sources

Researchers have developed two new frameworks to combat social engineering attacks that leverage augmented reality (AR) and large language models (LLMs). The first, PhySE, uses a visual language model for rapid profile generation and an adaptive psychological agent to tailor social engineering strategies in real-time. The second, UNSEEN, offers a cross-stack defense combining access control on AR devices, LLM unlearning for profile suppression, and runtime agent guardrails. Both frameworks were evaluated in IRB-approved user studies involving 60 participants and 360 annotated conversations. AI

    PhySE: A Psychological Framework for Real-Time AR-LLM Social Engineering Attacks

    arXiv:2604.23148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emerging threat of AR-LLM-based Social Engineering (AR-LLM-SE) attacks (e.g. SEAR) poses a significant risk to real-world social interactions. In such an attack, a malicious actor uses Augmented Reality (AR) glasses to capture a…
