QIF-T0106
highNeural sinkhole
Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)
Legacy status: THEORETICAL
Attract and drop neural signals by advertising a compromised node as optimal routing point. Neural signals are diverted and silently discarded. Analogous to sinkhole attacks in sensor networks. From Murcia neural cyberattack taxonomy.
