Automation platforms are increasingly being used to chain multiple IoT devices together to create user-friendly smart applications – but that’s also creating unpredictable attack surfaces that can be hard to manage. A Trend Micro report released at RSA Conference 2019 warns that these types of complex IoT environments, which can involve a mix of local standalone servers, cloud-based servers and virtual assistant-based servers, are opening new risks for smart buildings.

Researchers at Trend Micro say they've found new malware that uses Slack channels, GitHub, and the file.io file-sharing site to steal data from Windows PCs.

It seems that some homes may be too smart for their own good. On Monday, March 5, researchers at the San Francisco RSA conference presented to an assembled crowd of journalists and cybersecurity experts an unexpected approach for hacking into the device-enabled homes of the modern day George and Lydia Hadley.

Orbiting hunks of metal make it possible for billions of earthlings to benefit from marvels of the digital age, from GPS signals and weather monitoring systems to the communication protocols for credit card authorizations and other complex transactions.

Smart home devices aren’t just for the home. Businesses are inviting more and more internet-connected devices into their offices and buildings as well. While the technology may simplify some tasks, security experts warn that the Internet of Things is also opening companies up to more security threats.

Today, endpoint security solution provider Trend Micro released their 2018 Trend Micro Cloud App Security Report. Trend Micro drew from the data collected by their Cloud App Security solution to formulate their findings; among these findings, Trend Micro discovered enterprises faced over 8 million high-risk email threats in 2018 alone—a significant increase over 2017.

A blue verified badge on Instagram is among the most sought after status symbols in the digital world, a must-have for many so-called influencers. But now a group of hackers are taking advantages of our obsession with appraisal online.

A group of Turkish-speaking hackers is hijacking popular Instagram profiles, including those belonging to actors and singers, and, in some cases, promising to turn back control to the victims in exchange for a ransom or nude photos and videos.

Traditional attacks, such as phishing and credential stuffing, continue to dominate the threat landscape for most industries, while well-known malware, such as WannaCry, remain a threat for behind-the-curve companies, according to two annual cyberthreat reports released today.

We hear about them all the time, another company getting its data breached, another credit card scanner hacked, but do you really know what a data breach is exactly and what it means if it happens to you? Here’s a quick rundown of data breaches and what you should know.

As long as there are ATMs, hackers will be there to drain them of money. And while ATM-targeted “jackpotting” malware—which forces machines to spit out cash—has been on the rise for several years, but a recent variant on the scheme takes that concept literally, turning the machine’s interface into something like a slot machine. One that pays out every time.

OT, IoT and systems targeted by cryptominers - those are among the main network security concerns of Greg Young, VP of cybersecurity at Trend Micro. Which technology trends should security leaders follow to improve network security? Young shares his insight.

The Outlaw group is conducting an active campaign which is targeting Linux systems in cryptocurrency mining attacks. On Tuesday, the JASK Special Ops research team disclosed additional details (.PDF) of the attack wave which appears to focus on seizing infrastructure resources to support illicit Monero mining activities.

Researchers at Trend Micro recently published their look inside online underground marketplaces in the Middle East and North Africa, where criminals are buying and selling malware, laundering money and event booking their next discount vacation.

Super Bowl LIII will draw the attention of millions of people around the world – and cybercriminals hoping to exploit attendees and fans before and during the big game.

Google has banned dozens of Android apps downloaded millions of times from the official Play Store after researchers discovered they were being used to display phishing and scam ads or perform other malicious acts.

Experts walk us through all the threats lurking in our high tech homes...and tell us some simple – but not always used – ways we can better protect ourselves.

The biggest technology trends ahead are expected to have an impact on security, including the adoption of cloud computing, plus advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Greg Young, from Trend Micro explains more.

Microsoft Exchange 2013 and newer versions are vulnerable to a privilege escalation attack that gives anyone with a mailbox a way to gain domain administrator rights at potentially 90% of organizations running Active Directory and Exchange, according to a security researcher.

It’s time to take stock of your private information. Monday, Jan. 28 is Data Privacy Day, which marks the 1981 signing of Europe’s Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty involving privacy and data protection. But, more important, it’s a reminder that protecting your personal data is vital.

A global team of researchers recently took industrial system hacking to a whole new — and visual — level by exploiting flaws they discovered in radio frequency (RF) controllers that move cranes and other large machinery at construction sites and in factories.

In the future, industrial robots may create jobs, boost productivity and spur higher wages. But one thing seems more certain for now: They’re vulnerable to hackers.

Hundreds of e-commerce websites have been hit with a card-skimming attack that compromised an advertising plugin, according to research from Trend Micro and RiskIQ.

Federico Maggi will never forget the first time he saw a crane being hacked. Last March, he was on a strange kind of road trip. Travelling the Lombardi region of Italy with his colleague Marco Balduzzi in a red Volkswagen Polo, the pair hoped to convince construction site managers, who they’d never met or spoken with before, to let them have a crack at taking control of cranes with their hacking tools.

Most car manufacturers would dread the idea of someone hacking one of their vehicles, but Tesla has decided to go the other way and open up its software to a hacking contest called Pwn2Own in Vancouver.
