Distributed learning paradigms, such as federated or decentralized learning, allow a collection of agents to solve global learning and optimization problems through limited local interactions. Most such strategies rely on a mixture of local adaptation and aggregation steps, either among peers or at a central fusion center. Classically, aggregation in distributed learning is based on averaging, which is statistically efficient, but susceptible to attacks by even a small number of malicious agents. This observation has motivated a number of recent works, which develop robust aggregation schemes by employing robust variations of the mean. We present a new attack based on sensitivity curve maximization (SCM), and demonstrate that it is able to disrupt existing robust aggregation schemes by injecting small, but effective perturbations.
