"Government regulation is the only way this is going to happen," William Malik, vice president of infrastructure strategies at Trend Micro said on the panel. "Automobiles didn't get safer until the government regulated them."

The first half of the year saw a continued surge in ransomware, Business Email Compromise (BEC) and other threats, with Trend Micro blocking over 38 billion during the period, it claimed in a new report.

All that information packaged together sells for upwards of $30 per identity on online black markets, according to Mark Nunnikhoven, head of cloud research for cybersecurity firm Trend Micro.

Trend Micro researchers first spotted the banking malware using network sniffing to steal data back in 2014 and recently spotted an increase in activity in August 2017 coming from new variants that all had the potential to unleash different types of payloads

The mobile edition of the Pwn2Own hacking contest is returning for its sixth year, with a prize pool of $500,000 and new targets for security researchers. Pwn2Own is operated by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) and has both desktop and mobile events.

Cloud-based online storage service Autodesk A360 Drive has been recently abused as a malware delivery platform, according to Trend Micro.

A trojan spreading fileless malware, which Trend Micro detects as “TROJ_ANDROM.SVN,” conceals itself within two malicious files on an infected USB.

The trend in medical devices connected to the internet has opened the door to hackers being able to threaten victim's lives, Ed Cabrera, chief cybersecurity officer at the threat research firm Trend Micro, tells Wired.

Despite the move toward EMV chip cards, point-of-sale (POS) malware continues to vex merchants’ payment systems, most recently with the discovery of MajikPOS malware in North America, which TrendMicro reported on in March.

Trend Micro this week said that it will offer over $500,000 in cash prizes at Zero Day Initiative’s Mobile Pwn2Own contest, set to take place Nov. 1-2, during the PacSec 2017 Conference in Tokyo, Japan.

The trojan looks very similar to the GhostClicker malware previously analyzed by Trend Micro before its authors decided to use it to launch DDoS attacks.

According to Trend Micro, the mining malware operation includes a timer that automatically triggers the malicious WMI script every three hours.

“Passenger shipping organizations and cruise lines … can be easily impacted,” said Eduardo E. Cabrera, chief cybersecurity officer at Trend Micro, a Tokyo-based cybersecurity firm.

Trend Micro's Federico Maggi and Politecnico di Milano's Andrea Continella visit the Dark Reading News Desk to discuss ShieldFS – a new tool that protects filesystems by disrupting and actually undoing the ransomware's encryption while it's in action.

Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative has released details about two remote code execution zero-day flaws affecting popular freemium PDF tool Foxit Reader.

A new, vendor-neutral connected car hack has been discovered that is "indefensible by modern car security technology" and could put many drivers at risk of a critical cyberattack, according to a Wednesday blog post from security firm Trend Micro. The hack was discovered by Trend Micro's Forward-looking Threat Research (FTR) team, Politecnico di Milano, and Linklayer Labs.

Attackers who successfully exploited the vulnerability could assume control over target systems and create new accounts with full user rights, install programs, and view, edit, or delete data. Researchers at TrendMicro have found malware exploiting the same flaw but using PowerPoint files for distribution, a technique not previously seen in the wild.

Users of online dating apps and the businesses they work for could end up the target of spear phishing and social engineering scams, especially when these services make one's personal information accessible to virtually anyone, Trend Micro researchers warned in a blog post on Thursday.

Researchers at Trend Micro examined three years worth of malware from OnionDog — around 200 total samples — and found evidence that the malware was likely developed and used in joint U.S./South Korean military exercises.

Trend Micro alerts users that an email campaign which appeared a couple of months ago is currently targeting Russian-speaking enterprises and delivering a new Windows-based backdoor.

Microsoft added that an unauthenticated attacker in an enterprise setting could remotely trigger the flaw through an SMB connection, which Trend Micro researchers said is "pretty close to wormable," referring to its spreadability.

The HITRUST Alliance and Trend Micro have announced a partnership to create the HITRUST Cyber Threat Management and Response Center, which will expand HITRUST’s cyber threat information sharing program for health care.

Marcus Hutchins arrest does not appear to be directly related to WannaCry, said Mark Nunnikhoven, vice president of cloud security at Trend Micro.

According to Gilbert Sison and Janus Agcaoili, two security researchers at Trend Micro, the most recent version of the Cerber ransomware can dump browser passwords and can steal files related to Bitcoin wallets.

Trend Micro researchers are keen to explain that there are malware that are fileless only while entering a user’s system (and they eventually reveal themselves when they execute their payload), and there are completely fileless malware attacks, where the entire infection chain is fileless.
