Researchers with Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative said that the known APT group, called Water Hydra, was leveraging the flaw (CVE-2024-21412) in order to bypass Defender SmartScreen, Microsoft’s feature in Windows 10 and 11 that is aimed at preventing phishing and malware attacks.

Most experts working in AI and cybersecurity agree that the benefits from this technology currently outweigh the risks. Security vendors like Trend Micro have been using AI for over a decade for spam filtering and other purposes.

"It's a pretty large attack surface right now that's often overlooked, especially in small businesses, because it's hard to manage from an enterprise level," explains Dustin Childs, head of threat awareness for Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), which runs the Pwn2Own hacking contest.

Increasingly, security professionals are coming together with law enforcement to provide free decryption tools — freeing locked files and eliminating the temptation for victims to pony up.

The first-ever Pwn2Own Automotive event was organized by the Trend Micro Zero-Day Initiative, the same people behind the annual Pwn2Own hacking events we have reported on over the years here at Forbes.

Researchers and companies uncovered 96 zero-day vulnerabilities in 2023, according to data from Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative.

Few technology or cybersecurity narratives are as compelling as that of Trend Micro's sustained success and innovative strides.

Take Louise McEvoy, for instance, who’s been with Trend Micro for nine years and in her current role as VP of U.S. channel for five. She has spearheaded the launch of a new MSSP program and has an extensive history that’s in part been focused on empowering women in tech.

Trigona’s activity has drastically declined this month, according to threat researcher Paul Pajares of cybersecurity company Trend Micro. The primary flaw has been poor management of the leak site, he told Recorded Future News.

A cyberattack is a crime, and it is law enforcement’s job to investigate. Which agency should an organization call once it discovers a breach? What is law enforcement going to do? Answering these questions in advance of a breach can help enterprise leadership prepare for the role law enforcement will fill and build a more collaborative relationship.

Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro, discusses the challenges of tackling cyberattacks.

The cybersecurity vendor is also expanding its portfolio of assessment tools as part of a push to help enable partners to deliver more services.

Persistent high interest rates signal the need for continued capital discipline, while the emergence of potentially game-changing technologies continues to fuel the race for a competitive advantage.

The cybersecurity vendor is seeking to help channel partners add managed services around its AI-driven threat detection platform while expanding the use of its Vision One platform among MSSPs, Channel Chief Louise McEvoy tells CRN.

The intersection of cloud security and AI vulnerability concerns arose during Black Hat. Cybersecurity company Trend Micro presented a session on vulnerabilities discovered in Azure ML, Microsoft’s machine learning as a service (MLaas) platform.

While WormGPT appeared to be a real, customized LLM, the other four rival services might have been either outright scams or "wrapper services" that queried legitimate services using stolen accounts, VPN connections and ethical jailbreaks, Trend Micro researchers David Sancho and Vincenzo Ciancaglini said in a report.

COO Kevin Smizer discusses TMICY as its 2Q active subscription customers increased 8% to 436K.

Trend Micro's findings include two classes of vulnerability: insecure logging of sensitive information and sensitive information disclosure.

The three arrests, which concluded with actions against a suspect last month, were made possible due to the intensive intelligence-sharing between the INTERPOL General Secretariat’s cybercrime directorate, national law enforcement in Indonesia, Japan and the United States and private sector partners including Cyber Defense Institute, Group-IB, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 and Trend Micro, with added support from Cybertoolbelt.

In many instances, all it takes for attackers to create deepfake videos and audio — of the kind that fooled DeStefano — are very small samples of biometric content, Trend Micro said in a report this week highlighting the threat.

Trend Micro saw a massive surge in sales in the AWS Marketplace during the pandemic — and that acceleration continues, providing a lot of opportunities for channel partners.

Trend Micro had previously reported that this attack chain led to the deployment of the BlackCat ransomware in at least one case.

Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security is user-friendly with a nice, clean interface that isn't overly cluttered, has its Scan button front and center, and just enough icons around it to get to the tools and features you need.

Trend Micro's analysis of some of the samples has revealed the presence of debug messages in the source code, indicating that the operation is still in the development and testing phase.

In a report posted Friday, Trend Micro said while there was no evidence as yet Big Head had been used successfully, its developers appeared to be experienced, although possibly not sophisticated, threat actors.
