The security community has gained itself the title of being the team of "no": No clicking on links, no browsing particular websites, no installing certain software. Trend Micro Global VP of cloud security Mark Nunnikhoven told ZDNet this needs to change, because if security is everybody's responsibility, organisations need to act that way.

Looking specifically at the Adobe Flash advisory, Brian Gorenc, senior manager of vulnerability research at Trend Micro, noted that five of the seven fixed issues came through Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) program and two of the bugs (CVE-2017-3062 and CVE-2017-3063) were disclosed through Pwn2Own, which is operated by Trend Micro's ZDI.

Cybersecurity solutions company Trend Micro Incorporated has announced it is enhancing protection of small business endpoints by adding its newest capabilities of XGen security to Trend Micro Worry-Free Services.

An anonymous hacker working with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) disclosed the bugs, which affects Apple TV and watchOS too.

“A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability in the IIS WebDAV Component with a crafted request using PROPFIND method. Successful exploitation could result in denial of service condition or arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running the application,” said Virendra Bisht, a vulnerability researcher at Trend Micro.

“Other threat actors are now in the stages of creating malicious code based on the original proof-of-concept (PoC) code,” researchers from Trend Micro said in a blog post Wednesday.

I learned this past Saturday that my good friend and Trend Micro CTO, Raimund Genes, passed away suddenly last week. Raimund was only 54.

However, it is unlikely that the group's efforts to stir public pressure against Apple will be effective, noted Mark Nunnikhoven, vice president for cloud research at Trend Micro, in an online post.

Last week, the 10th annual Pwn2own hacking challenge was hosted by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), with multiple groups of researchers taking aim at web browsers, operating systems and virtualization technology.

One of the premier hacking contests is Pwn2Own, where security teams get together and see if they can break into the leading operating systems and web browsers.

At this year's installment of Pwn2Own, a hacking competition that's been taking place since 2007, the duo of Samuel Groß and Niklas Baumstark did exactly that.

The Pwn2Own contest runs every year during the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. It's organized and sponsored by the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), an exploit acquisition program operated by Trend Micro after its acquisition of TippingPoint.

Named after its command and control (C&C) panel, the malware “needs only another component from the server to conduct its RAM scraping routine,” Trend Micro says.

Cybercriminals out of West Africa pilfered an average of $2.7 million from businesses and $422,000 on average from individuals during 2013-2015, according to new INTERPOL and Trend Micro data, a rate that is on the rise.

Trend Micro is reporting a new threat to Linux-based Internet of Things (IoT) devices that is specifically able to exploit a specific vulnerability in surveillance cameras made by AVTech.

Cybercrime-related complaints in West Africa soared from 940 in 2013 to 2,182 in 2015, says “Cybercrime in West Africa,” a report jointly done by the global police network known as Interpol and Trend Micro, a security software company with headquarters in Tokyo. Only 30 percent of the cybercrimes reported to police in the region lead to arrests, it said.

West Africa is poised to become a cyber crime hot spot, according to new research out this morning from security firm Trend Micro and Interpol, the international police organization.

This year, TrendMicro sees a 25-percent growth in the number of new ransomware families available for use in breaches.

This year, TrendMicro sees a 25-percent growth in the number of new ransomware families available for use in breaches. Reports of the encroachment of ransomware on government, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and health and safety are already climbing.

In 2016, security firm Trend Micro counted 247 new ransomware families, compared to just 29 in 2015.

In February 2017, Trend Micro revealed that the Crysis ransomware was being distributed via RDP attacks too.

More than 36,000 healthcare-related devices in the US alone are easily discoverable on Shodan, a sort of search engine for connected devices, according to a recent Trend Micro survey.

2016 was truly the year of online extortion. Cyber threats reached an all-time high, with ransomware and Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams gaining increased popularity among cybercriminals looking to extort enterprises. A 752 percent increase in new ransomware families ultimately resulted in $1 billion in losses for enterprises worldwide, according to Trend Micro.

Trend Micro blocked nearly 82 billion threats in 2016, with ransomware and Business Emil Compromise (BEC) in particular causing havoc for organizations worldwide, according to a new report.

Speaking at RSA Conference 2017 Wendy Moore, director of user protection at Trend Micro, presented a session on going beyond next gen to deliver security with maximum impact.
