Social Media Messages for Early Cyberattack Detection on Blockchain

ELTEX-Blockchain: A Domain-Specific Dataset for Cybersecurity

🔐 12k Synthetic Social Media Messages for Early Cyberattack Detection on Blockchain

Dataset Statistics

Dataset Structure

Each entry in the dataset contains: - message_id: Unique identifier for each message - content: The text content of the social media message - topic: Classification label ("cyberattack" or "general")

Performance

Gemma-2b-it fine-tuned on this dataset: - Achieves a Brier score of 0.16 using only synthetic data in our social media threat detection task - Shows competitive performance on this specific task when compared to general-purpose models known for capabilities in cybersecurity tasks, like granite-3.2-2b-instruct, and cybersecurity-focused LLMs trained on Primus - Demonstrates promising results for smaller models on this specific task, with our best hybrid model achieving an F1 score of 0.81 on our blockchain threat detection test set, though GPT-4o maintains superior overall accuracy (0.84) and calibration (Brier 0.10)
