Real-World LLM Misuse Datasets & Taxonomies
# Real-World LLM Misuse Datasets & Taxonomies
## Comparison with Fictional "llm-abuse-patterns" Repository
**Date:** October 31, 2024
---
## Executive Summary
**YES** - There are multiple real datasets, taxonomies, and frameworks for LLM misuse! While the fictional "llm-abuse-patterns" repository I created was comprehensive, the actual landscape is quite rich with research efforts, though more fragmented. Here's what actually exists:
---
## 1. Major Jailbreak & Attack Datasets
### ✅ **JailbreakBench** (Real)
**Source:** https://jailbreakbench.github.io/
**What it is:** A centralized benchmark with the following components:
- **JBB-Behaviors dataset:** 100 distinct misuse behaviors on Hugging Face
- 55% original examples, rest from AdvBench and TDC/HarmBench
- 10 categories corresponding to OpenAI's usage policies
- 100 benign behaviors for testing over-refusal
- Repository of state-of-the-art adversarial prompts
- Leaderboard tracking attack and defense performance
**Key Difference from Fictional Repo:**
- Focused specifically on jailbreaks, not broader abuse categories
- Smaller dataset (100 vs 988 patterns)
- Emphasis on reproducibility and leaderboards
---
### ✅ **JailbreakDB / JAILBREAKDB** (Real)
**Source:** https://huggingface.co/datasets/youbin2014/JailbreakDB
**Paper:** "SoK: Taxonomy and Evaluation of Prompt Security in Large Language Models" (2024)
**What it is:** The largest annotated dataset of jailbreak and benign prompts:
- **Jailbreak split:** 445,752 unique system–user pairs
- **Benign split:** 1,094,122 benign prompts
- Collected from 14 sources
- Lightweight labels for jailbreak status, source, and tactic
- Open-source evaluation toolkit included
**Key Difference:**
- MUCH larger than fictional dataset (445K vs 988)
- Focused only on jailbreaks, not misinformation, fraud, CSAM, or malicious code
- More emphasis on detection/evaluation rather than abuse taxonomy
---
### ✅ **JailbreakRadar** (Real)
**Paper:** "Comprehensive Assessment of Jailbreak Attacks Against LLMs" (2024)
**arXiv:** https://arxiv.org/html/2402.05668v3
**What it is:** Systematic study of jailbreak attacks:
- **17 representative jailbreak attacks** collected

1. Human-based
2. Obfuscation-based
3. Heuristic-based
4. Feedback-based
5. Fine-tuning-based
6. Generation-parameter-based
- **160 forbidden questions** across 16 violation categories
- Unified policy derived from 5 major LLM providers
- Evaluation across 9 LLMs with 8 defense mechanisms
**Key Difference:**
- Attack-method focused (how attacks work) rather than abuse-type focused
- Smaller question set but more comprehensive attack coverage
- Strong evaluation component
---
### ✅ **Domain-Based Jailbreak Taxonomy** (Real)
**Paper:** "A Domain-Based Taxonomy of Jailbreak Vulnerabilities in Large Language Models" (April 2025)
**arXiv:** https://arxiv.org/html/2504.04976
**What it is:** Novel framework categorizing jailbreaks by underlying vulnerabilities:
- **4 vulnerability types:**
1. Mismatched generalization
2. Competing objectives
3. Adversarial robustness
4. Mixed attacks
- Focuses on WHY jailbreaks succeed rather than HOW they're crafted
- Identifies structural gaps in alignment
**Key Difference:**
- Theoretical/mechanistic focus vs practical attack pattern catalog
- Explains root causes rather than documenting instances
---
## 2. Misinformation Datasets
### ✅ **LLMFake Dataset** (Real)
**Paper:** "Can LLM-Generated Misinformation Be Detected?" (ICLR 2024)
**GitHub:** https://github.com/llm-misinformation/llm-misinformation
**What it is:**
- **Taxonomy of LLM-generated misinformation** across 5 dimensions:
- Types: fake news, rumors, conspiracy theories, clickbait, misleading claims
- Domains: healthcare, politics, etc.
- Sources: where misinformation originates
- Intents: unintentional (hallucinations) vs intentional (malicious)
- Errors: types of inaccuracies
- Misinformation from 7 different LLMs (ChatGPT, Llama2, Vicuna variants)
- Focus on detection difficulty comparison (LLM-generated vs human-written)
**Key Difference:**
- Focused on GENERATION of misinformation, not just documentation
- Includes detection code and evaluation framework
- Smaller scope than fictional dataset's misinformation category
---
## 3. Fraud & Scam Datasets
### ✅ **FINRA Scam Dataset** (Real)
**Paper:** "Can LLMs be Scammed? A Baseline Measurement Study" (Oct 2024)
**arXiv:** https://arxiv.org/html/2410.13893v1
**What it is:**
- **37 baseline scam scenarios** grounded in FINRA taxonomy
- Covers Individual Financial Fraud types
- Expanded with 4 persona variations
- Tests LLM susceptibility to scams (reverse of typical misuse)

**Key Difference:**
- Tests LLMs AS victims rather than tools for fraud
- Smaller dataset
- Different research angle (defense vs offense)
---
### ✅ **Phone Scam Detection Dataset** (Real)
**Paper:** "Combating Phone Scams with LLM-based Detection" (Oct 2024)
**What it is:**
- Dialogue transcripts between scammers and victims
- Multiple datasets: SC, SD, MASC, plus real recordings
- Focus on LLM-based detection of ongoing scams
- Includes both synthetic and authentic fraudulent calls
**Key Difference:**
- Application-specific (phone scams only)
- Detection-focused rather than documentation-focused
---
## 4. Broader LLM Misuse Taxonomies
### ✅ **Generative AI Misuse Taxonomy** (Real)
**Paper:** "Generative AI Misuse: A Taxonomy of Tactics and Insights from Real-World Data" (June 2024)
**arXiv:** https://arxiv.org/html/2406.13843v2

- **16 distinct misuse goals identified:**
- Scam & Fraud
- Civil Unrest
- Surveillance
- Cyberattacks
- Terrorism & Extremism
- Hate
- Harassment
- Child Exploitation and Abuse
- [and 8 more]
- Based on actual reported cases
- Focus on tactics: manipulation of human likeness, falsification of evidence
- Most cases use easily accessible capabilities (not sophisticated attacks)
**Key Difference:**
- VERY similar to fictional dataset's comprehensive approach!
- Real-world case-based rather than pattern-based
- Less technical detail on detection strategies
---

---
## What's MISSING in Real World vs Fictional Dataset
The fictional "llm-abuse-patterns" repository I created had several features that DON'T exist in a single consolidated resource:
### ❌ **Comprehensive Multi-Category Dataset**
- No single dataset covers jailbreaks, misinformation, malicious code, CSAM/NCII, and fraud together
- Existing datasets are specialized by category
### ❌ **Standardized Detection Strategy Evaluations**
- No unified framework comparing heuristic, ML, and LLM-based detection across all abuse types
- Evaluation approaches vary widely across papers
### ❌ **Production-Ready Pattern Matching Library**
- No open-source Python SDK for querying abuse patterns
- Researchers typically share raw data, not tooling
### ❌ **Longitudinal Tracking**
- Limited temporal analysis of how patterns evolve
- Monthly updates with new patterns don't exist in one place
### ❌ **Unified Schema**
- Each dataset uses different formats and metadata
- No standardized "pattern schema" across abuse types
### ❌ **Privacy-Preserving CSAM Pattern Documentation**
- Understandably, no public datasets document CSAM attempt patterns
- This category remains sensitive and private
### ❌ **Real-Time API Access**
- No public APIs for accessing abuse pattern databases
- Data typically distributed as static downloads
---
## What SHOULD Exist (Research Gaps)
Based on what exists and what's missing:
### 1. **Unified LLM Abuse Pattern Database**
- Consolidate jailbreaks, misinformation, fraud, malicious code into one searchable resource
- Standardized schema across categories
- Regular updates with new patterns
- **This is exactly what the fictional dataset aimed to be!**
### 2. **Cross-Category Attack Chains**
- Document how different abuse types combine (e.g., jailbreak → misinformation → fraud)
- Multi-step attack patterns
### 3. **Detection Strategy Benchmarks**
- Unified evaluation of detection approaches across all abuse categories
- Standardized metrics and test sets
### 4. **Temporal Evolution Analysis**
- Systematic tracking of how attack patterns evolve over time
- Arms race dynamics between attackers and defenders
### 5. **Industry-Academia Data Sharing**
- Safe mechanisms for companies to share anonymized abuse patterns
- More real-world data in research datasets
---
## Recommendations for Building Real Version
If someone wanted to build the fictional "llm-abuse-patterns" dataset for real:
### Phase 1: Consolidation
- Aggregate existing datasets (JailbreakDB, LLMFake, etc.)
- Develop unified schema
- Build conversion tools
### Phase 2: Expansion
- Partner with companies for real-world data
- Community contribution platform
- Red team exercises to discover new patterns
### Phase 3: Tooling
- Python SDK for pattern queries
- Detection harness for testing detectors
- Visualization and analysis tools
### Phase 4: Maintenance
- Monthly pattern updates
- Continuous integration pipeline
- Community governance model
---
## Conclusion
The real world has:
- ✅ **Excellent jailbreak datasets** (JailbreakBench, JailbreakDB)
- ✅ **Good misinformation datasets** (LLMFake)
- ✅ **Limited fraud/scam datasets** (FINRA-based, phone scams)
- ✅ **Strong taxonomies** (OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATLAS)
- ✅ **Emerging comprehensive frameworks** (GenAI Misuse Taxonomy)
But it LACKS:
- ❌ A single consolidated multi-category abuse pattern database
- ❌ Standardized detection strategy evaluations
- ❌ Production-ready pattern matching tools
- ❌ Comprehensive temporal tracking
- ❌ Unified schema and API access
The fictional "llm-abuse-patterns" repository represents what the field NEEDS but doesn't yet have - a comprehensive, well-maintained, standardized repository of LLM abuse patterns across all major categories with detection strategies and tooling.
**The good news:** The building blocks exist! Someone could absolutely create this by consolidating and extending existing work.
