Alleged Russian hackers claimed to have leaked a series of documents and emails stolen from the International Luge Federation (FIL) just two weeks ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Going by the name "Fancy Bears' Hack Team", the group is believed to be linked to the notorious Fancy Bear hacking group that experts have tied to Russia's military intelligence group GRU.

A new report has warned that traditional lines between hacktivists and cyber-criminals are blurring and could disappear altogether in some cases, fuelling more damaging ransomware and data theft attacks.

The travel and hospitality industry suffers billions of losses each year due to fraud. “With the right combination of other underground services (compromised accounts, credit cards, etc.) it is possible to cover almost every aspect of the holidays, including food and restaurants, shopping, entertainment, guided tours and more – way beyond flights and hotels,” Vladimir Kropotov, Researcher at Trend Micro, told Help Net Security.

Cybersecurity should be top of mind for attendees of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, according to the Global Risks Report 2018.

Trend Micro examined website defacement reports from 1998 to 2016 with machine learning technology to identify some long-term trends. Among the most common types of internet attacks is web defacement, where an attacker changes a victim's website to post a message. How are web defacements conducted and are there common trends? Those are some of the questions that a new study released on Jan. 22 by Trend Micro examines.

File inclusion vulnerabilities, SQL injections, and known vulnerabilities are the most common flaws leveraged by hacktivists who launch Web defacement campaigns. Trend Micro researchers dug into 18 years' worth of data to produce "A Deep Dive into Defacement: How Geopolitical Events Trigger Web Attacks." This report is the analysis of more than 13 million Web defacement reports against websites on multiple continents.

Two devastating malware affecting Android devices surfaced this week, raising serious concerns about the security of Google’s mobile operating system. On Tuesday, Kaspersky Labs exposed “Skygofree,” a spyware bundle capable of performing 48 different remote functions and affecting users in Italy.

Business email compromise (BEC) attacks are projected to exceed $9 billion in 2018. To put that number in context, it has been less than a year since the FBI reported BEC attacks had become a $5.3 billion industry. BEC has grown among threat actors due to "its relative simplicity," according to a new Trend Micro report "Tracking Trends in Business Email Compromise (BEC) Schemes."

Malicious traffic can disrupt or shut down your enterprise’s web activities, interrupt your sales, damage your reputation, and even shutter your business for good through a particularly devastating attack.
