MAADBench is a refreshable benchmark for anomaly detection in multi‑agent systems powered by large language models. It addresses the challenge of keeping benchmarks current by sampling and coupling generative tasks, generating trace data under configurable LLM backbones, and automatically providing deterministic step‑level labels. The authors evaluated 25 anomaly‑detection methods on 5,200 labeled traces, finding that existing approaches depend heavily on supervision, struggle with subtle MAS‑specific anomalies, and lack robustness across different LLM backbones.

SR‑Fraud is a framework that uses a frozen, stateless LLM agent to score transactions in real time while an offline reflection agent proposes boundary hypotheses based on matured errors. The system then verifies these hypotheses deterministically before updating its knowledge state. On a production payment‑fraud benchmark, SR‑Fraud outperforms both static and periodically retrained CatBoost models and successfully detects an emerging fraud burst.

arXiv:2606. 17555v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Banks simultaneously face signature-based fraud (card-not-present attacks, account takeover, ATM cloning) and behavioural financial crime (structuring, layering, mule networks, business email compromise) -- two threat families with fundamentally different detection requirements.

Anomaly detection is often applied to data stored in relational databases, yet most existing methods require flattening multiple tables into a single feature matrix. This flattening can obscure entity...
The paper introduces an autonomous AI security agent designed to detect multi‑vector fraud and anti‑money‑laundering (AML) threats in both retail and corporate banking. It operates across two parallel event streams—transactions and sessions—using a fusion of LSTM behaviour models, statistical velocity monitors, and graph‑based account‑counterparty analysis. Experiments on a synthetic dataset show the agent outperforms rule‑based and LSTM‑only baselines, achieving F1 scores of 0.787 for transactions and 0.867 for sessions, while also providing rapid, low‑latency responses and supporting customer verification and analyst assistance.
