Many companies have come and gone in the worlds of technology and cybersecurity over the past three and a half decades, but Trend Micro continues to achieve success and stay focused on its mission.

Researchers from Trend Micro who have been tracking the trend reported a 75% increase in ransomware attacks that targeted Linux systems in the first half of 2022 compared with the prior year.

A federal cybersecurity vendor is spinning up a division dedicated to 5G networks, technology that “threat actors are watching and are looking to exploit,” according to Kevin Simzer, Trend Micro’s chief operating officer.

Describing the activity in a Thursday advisory, Trend Micro researchers Mohamed Fahmy, Sherif Magdy and Mahmoud Zohdy have attributed it to the advanced persistent threat (APT) group the company refers to as APT34.

In a Black Hat USA 2022 session, Dustin Childs and Brian Gorenc, both researchers with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), pointed to multiple issues like the lack of information around a bug's exploitability, its pervasiveness, and how accessible it might be to attack as reasons why CVSS scores alone are not enough.
