Deep neural networks, while generalize well, are known to be sensitive to
small adversarial perturbations. This phenomenon poses severe security threat
and calls for in-depth investigation of the robustness of deep learning models.
With the emergence of neural networks for graph structured data, similar
investigations are urged to understand their robustness. It has been found that
adversarially perturbing the graph structure and/or node features may result in
a significant degradation of the model performance. In this work, we show from
a different angle that such fragility similarly occurs if the graph contains a
few bad-actor nodes, which compromise a trained graph neural network through
flipping the connections to any targeted victim. Worse, the bad actors found
for one graph model severely compromise other models as well. We call the bad
actors ``anchor nodes'' and propose an algorithm, named GUA, to identify them.
Thorough empirical investigations suggest an interesting finding that the
anchor nodes often belong to the same class; and they also corroborate the
intuitive trade-off between the number of anchor nodes and the attack success
rate. For the dataset Cora which contains 2708 nodes, as few as six anchor
nodes will result in an attack success rate higher than 80\% for GCN and other
three models.
