The company says Trend Cybertron is the first specialised cybersecurity large language model (LLM) of its kind that leverages AI-driven intelligence, historical threat data and predictive analytics to protect organisations from emerging risks.

The world is worried about deepfakes. Research conducted in the U.S. and Australia finds that nearly three-quarters of respondents feel negatively about them, associating the AI-generated phenomenon with fraud and misinformation. But in the workplace, we’re more likely to let our guard down.

The fight against shadow AI mirrors past efforts to control shadow IT and unauthorized cloud applications, Shannon Murphy, senior manager of global security and risk strategy at Trend Micro, told Axios.

Generally, monitoring for cryptojacking attacks can be difficult, said Jon Clay, vice president of threat intelligence at Trend Micro. “One of the things we see a lot of is, they come in, they drop their miners, and then they wipe their tracks of everything they did prior to that. So it’s very difficult,” he said. “They also wipe out and turn off a lot of the security products that are running on these machines.”

A Trend Micro spokesperson shared a comment from the company's research team, which noted that based on currently available details, the issue could be related to a high volume of traffic from either a surge in popularity for DeepSeek's service or a targeted DDoS attack.

The incidents highlight that organizations are aiming to silence researchers, rather than engage publicly with them, says Dustin Childs, the head of threat awareness and the Zero Day Initiative at Trend Micro, which maintains a third-party bug bounty program.

Researchers at the this year's Pwn2Own Automotive hacking contest successfully hacked Tesla's wall connector electric vehicle (EV) charger.

Pwn2Own is a competitive hacking event with a long and noble history stretching back to 2007; that it attracts some of the best ethical hackers and security researchers on the planet is a testament to its reputation.

After the zero-day vulnerabilities are exploited and reported during Pwn2Own, vendors have 90 days to develop and release security patches before Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative publicly discloses them.

$380,000 paid out on the first day of Pwn2Own Automotive 2025 for exploits targeting car infotainment units, operating systems, and chargers.
