Batch Normalization (BN) is widely used to speed up and stabilize deep neural network training, yet its effect on privacy and memorization has been largely unexplored. This study shows that BN significantly increases the memorization of atypical or outlier samples, as evidenced by unintended memorization, per-sample influence, and heightened susceptibility to membership inference attacks across multiple datasets and architectures. A mechanistic analysis of the BN backward pass reveals that BN amplifies the per‑step margin growth of outlier samples during training, thereby intensifying their influence.
