Analysts at Trend Micro, a cybersecurity firm, in 2014 discovered that copies of Football Manager Handheld, a smartphone game, and TuneIn Radio, an audio app, contained malicious software that mined cryptocurrencies, the proceeds of which were probably funneled to the developers.

When it comes to the Middle Eastern and North African underground, research from Trend Micro showed that the regional cybercrime marketplace has a few unique hallmarks, including a “spirit of sharing” mindset that hinges on a feeling of brotherhood and religious alliance that transcends the illicit transactions that occur.

TrendMicro researchers said the low price point reflected a unique aspect of brotherhood and comradery unlike what is seen other market places where the players only aim to make money.

The Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) and Trend Micro have created a deception-based threat detection collaboration platform that deploys “honeypots” across the healthcare ecosystem.
