As the number of graph-level embedding techniques increases at an unprecedented speed, questions arise about their behavior and performance when training data undergo perturbations. This is the case when an external entity maliciously alters training data to invalidate the embedding. This paper explores the efects of such attacks on some graph datasets by applying diferent graph-level embedding techniques. The main attack strategy involves manipulating training data to produce an altered model. In this context, our goal is to go indepth about methods, resources, experimental settings, and performance results to observe and study all the aspects that derive from the attack stage.
