Users of online dating apps and the businesses they work for could end up the target of spear phishing and social engineering scams, especially when these services make one's personal information accessible to virtually anyone, Trend Micro researchers warned in a blog post on Thursday.

Researchers at Trend Micro examined three years worth of malware from OnionDog — around 200 total samples — and found evidence that the malware was likely developed and used in joint U.S./South Korean military exercises.

Trend Micro alerts users that an email campaign which appeared a couple of months ago is currently targeting Russian-speaking enterprises and delivering a new Windows-based backdoor.

Microsoft added that an unauthenticated attacker in an enterprise setting could remotely trigger the flaw through an SMB connection, which Trend Micro researchers said is "pretty close to wormable," referring to its spreadability.

The HITRUST Alliance and Trend Micro have announced a partnership to create the HITRUST Cyber Threat Management and Response Center, which will expand HITRUST’s cyber threat information sharing program for health care.
