And although regular agentic AI is still at a very early stage—and criminal or malicious use of agentic AI even more so—it’s even more of a Wild West than the LLM field was two years ago, says Vincenzo Ciancaglini, a senior threat researcher at the security company Trend Micro.

Trend Micro has open sourced its cybersecurity large language model (LLM) and artificial intelligence (AI) agent to help organizations automate threat detection.

Trend Micro rolled out autonomous agents and its own AI brain to customers last year.

According to Trend Micro documentation, the data extortion gang was seen launching exploits against the defect in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) framework to execute malicious code and exfiltrate data from targeted systems.

Cybercriminals working on behalf of at least six nation-states are actively exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft Windows to commit espionage, steal data and cryptocurrency, according to Trend Micro researchers.

As security researchers Peter Girnus and Aliakbar Zahravi with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) reported today, Microsoft tagged it as "not meeting the bar servicing" in late September and said it wouldn't release security updates to address it.

Researchers from the security firm Trend Micro collaborated with Human on the Badbox 2.0 investigation, particularly focusing on the actors behind the activity.

The company says Trend Cybertron is the first specialised cybersecurity large language model (LLM) of its kind that leverages AI-driven intelligence, historical threat data and predictive analytics to protect organisations from emerging risks.

The world is worried about deepfakes. Research conducted in the U.S. and Australia finds that nearly three-quarters of respondents feel negatively about them, associating the AI-generated phenomenon with fraud and misinformation. But in the workplace, we’re more likely to let our guard down.

The fight against shadow AI mirrors past efforts to control shadow IT and unauthorized cloud applications, Shannon Murphy, senior manager of global security and risk strategy at Trend Micro, told Axios.
