The OWASP Top 5 Machine Learning Risks
The idea is to build the required resources which help software security community to understand the emerging technology of machine learning and how it is related to security, warn them about the risk associated with using ML, and discuss the defending techniques.

Description
Machine Learning has recently re-emerged as a powerful tool in multiple business sectors. It also becomes vital when it is harnessed for the Security services and applications like Fraud Detection, Anomaly Detection, Behavioral Analysis, etc.

Although these applications have huge success, there are still security risks associated with the learning technique especially the security of the learning phase; which can still be vulnerable to threats originated by potential adversaries, and consequently it has considerable impact on their prediction results

This project will list these risks and the defending techniques
