Cybersecurity researchers at Trend Microhave detailed a new means of the Dharma family of ransomware being deployed: by bundling it inside a fake anti-virus software installation.

Trend Micro says that a key vulnerability in smart homes is the control systems and automation platforms used to coordinate all our smart devices. The increasing complexity with each additional device and automation rule also means an expanding attack surface.

Trend Micro found that the radio signals crane controllers use are not encrypted over the air in any way, and can be easily intercepted and spoofed using off-the-shelf equipment and a basic knowledge of electronics and radio engineering.

Trend Micro discovered that a hacking group, nicknamed Mirrorthief, relied on the scripting technique to steal card data from 201 online campus stores across the US and Canada on April 14th. The team slipped its scripts into the checkout pages of the sites (all created by a common developer, PrismRBS) to harvest full card details, names, addresses and phone numbers.

Trend Micro comments that the delineation between pure web defacement and cybercriminal or cyberespionage activity is disappearing. If this continues and escalates, then the line between defacers, hacktivists and cybercriminals will become even more blurred.

Trend Micro is now making it possible to employ Kubernetes to orchestrate security scans of container images conducted by Trend Micro Deep Security, its suite of of tools that rely on deep packet inspection to protect applications using a combination of firewalls, intrusion protection systems and monitoring of logs and files.

Manufacturing networks still running outdated technology could risk their intellectual property and production processes. The Trend Micro report, Securing Smart Factories: Threats to Manufacturing Environments in the Era of Industry 4.0, outlines the security dimension of a new era for manufacturing driven by IoT and connectivity everywhere.

Trend Micro, an IT security company with U.S. headquarters in Irving, has partnered with Moxa to launch TXOne Networks. The joint venture will focus on security needs present in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments, including smart manufacturing, smart cities, smart energy, and more.

Data breaches have become a recurring nightmare for enterprises and consumers alike. And the security outlook isn't likely to improve anytime soon, with at least one industry report forecasting a range of new cyberattack vectors in 2019.

More than a week after LockerGoga infected the Norwegian aluminum manufacturer Norsk Hydro, researchers are still trying to figure out the ransomware’s delivery mechanism. As LockerGoga evolves with new features, researchers are left trying to understand what the group behind the ransomware is really after.
