Excited to share our paper "Scam2Prompt: A Scalable Framework for Auditing Malicious Scam Endpoints in Production LLMs" has been accepted to ICML 2026!! @icmlconf See you in Seoul, Korea!
Co-authors: @zhiychen, Tara Saba, Xun Deng, @XujieSi@FanLong16
When asked to write code for topics frequently exploited by scammers, real-world incidents have already shown that LLMs failed to distinguish scams from legitimate sites. In some cases, they have generated code containing scam URLs, leading to real-world financial losses. But how severe is this problem?
That is the problem investigated by **Scam2Prompt**.
Highlights:
1. We disclose and evaluate the extent to which production LLMs can generate malicious code, demonstrating that at 4.24% of LLM-generated code contains malicious URLs alone when responding to developer-style prompts of sensitive topics frequently exploited by scammers.
2. We build **Scam2Prompt*,* a scalable continous framework that given seed malicious sources, automatically generates prompts appearing as
developer-style coding requests while systematically exposing malicious code generation in production LLMs.
3. We build **Innoc2Scam-bench**, a renewable benchmark with 1,377 developer-style prompts constructed from Scam2Prompt to test whether state-of-the-art LLMs generate scam URLs in code.
4. We evaluate seven 2025 production LLMs and group their safety rankings into statistical tiers: Gemini 2.5 Pro > GPT-5 > Claude Sonnet 4 > Grok Code Fast 1 ≈ Gemini 2.5 Flash ≈ Qwen3 Coder ≈ DeepSeek Chat v3.1.
5. We discover 62 new LLM-generated scam sites that were not in the seed scam database, remained active more than one year after the training-data cutoff, and were submitted to and accepted by MetaMask’s eth-phishing-detect maintainers.

We built a system combining program analysis and LLMs to transform and optimize PTX. By operating at this shared layer across DSLs (e.g. Triton, TileLang, ThunderKittens, CUTLASS), our system learns the best ideas from each and generates kernels that outperform all of them (1/5)
Meet Guang Yang, PhD, our new Chief Technology Officer at Conflux Network!
Deeply involved in the research and development of Conflux's technology since 2018, we anticipate @GuangYang_9's leadership in driving innovation and spearheading the next phase of our growth.
We extend our gratitude to Ming Wu @spark_ren for his dedication and leadership at Conflux. As he transitions to an advisory role and takes on new challenges at 0G Labs, we look forward to ongoing collaboration. We wish Ming all the best!

Impressed by our community’s drive! I strongly encourage you all to vote ����️ on the proposals for PoW rewards, Interest Rate, Storage, and Base Fee Sharing. While I have concerns about potential inflation ⚠️, I respect our collective decision and will abstain this round. A reminder: this effort is driven by a few community whales 🐋, not our core dev team. Make your voice heard! ⏰ Voting ends 2025-02-11 08:54:24.
📢 A community-initiated vote is underway to adjust key network parameters!
🔹 PoW Base Block Reward:
Current: 1.00 CFX/Block → Proposed: 2.00 CFX/Block (+100%)
🔹 Interest Rate :
Current: 4.08% → Proposed: 8.16% (+100%)
🔹 Storage Point Proposal:
Current: 0.50 → Proposed: 1.00 (+100%)
🔹 Base Fee Sharing Proposal:
Current: 50% → Proposed: 67% (+34%)
This was initiated by the community, and we want to ensure everyone is aware and can take part.

Exciting news: Conflux, a leading player in Web3 initiatives, expands its presence with the establishment of an office at Hong Kong Cyberport. Stay tuned for ground-breaking developments! #Conflux#Web3
Capitol Hill's got that US-China drama on repeat, but in the world of tech, Conflux Network is just a decentralized digital network governed by community via PoS+PoW. Sure, we are regulatory compliant in China, but that does not imply any governmental control. #Decentralization #Blockchain #CFX

A thought-provoking aspect of the Ethereum community is the contrast between MEV being considered acceptable despite "sandwiching" everyday DeFi users, while labeling the very same actions against MEV bots as "attacks." Curious, isn't it? #MEV
JUST IN: Treasury Secretary Yellen says US prepared to take action on deposits “if warranted.”
Yesterday, Yellen said they were no longer considering backing all deposits.
2 days ago, Yellen said they were considering backing all deposits.
This is not how you reduce panic.
