Researchers from Trend Micro recently discovered Persirai targeting over 1,000 IP camera models based on multiple original equipment (OEM) products.

Popular chat platforms such as Slack, Discord and Telegram can be abused by malicious actors and turned into command and control (C&C) infrastructure, according to Trend Micro.

Hackers are abusing Slack, Discord, Telegram and other third-party chat platforms by incorporating them into their malicious command-and-control infrastructure and then using their functionality to communicate data and even download malware, according to a new Trend Micro report.

A study of the Dark Web by Trend Micro shows that cybercriminals attack each other with almost the same ferocity as they reserve for their victims outside of it.

Trend Micro states that more than 90 percent of successful hacks and data breaches stem from phishing, emails crafted to lure their recipients to click a link, open a document or forward information to someone they shouldn’t. Training users how to detect and react to these threats are a critical ransomware deterrent.

“Behind most modern conveniences, there exists a SCADA system somewhere that controls them,” Trend Micro researchers pointed out in a new report that delves in the heart of vulnerabilities affecting SCADA systems’ Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).

Trend Micro researchers are taking a stand against the published reports stating UIWIX ransomware is the new WannaCry when, in fact, the only thing it has in common with Wanacrypt0r is its threat vector.

Meanwhile, iOS 10.3.2 fixes 41 vulnerabilities including multiple fixes for WebKit, the most severe of which “could allow the processing of maliciously crafted web content to allow arbitrary code execution”, ZDI said.

Researchers at IT security company Trend Micro say warnings that the Uiwix ransomware could be a more dangerous version of WannaCry might be inaccurate, according to a new report.

Cybersecurity experts say this piece of malware had an especially malicious quality. Mark Nunnikhoven is vice president of cloud research at the security software company Trend Micro.
