Cost Harvesting

Type: technique

Description: Adversaries may target different machine learning services to send useless queries or computationally expensive inputs to increase the cost of running services at the victim organization. Sponge examples are a particular type of adversarial data designed to maximize energy consumption and thus operating cost.
