"Over the years, Windows has become a harder target to attack, and less and less of what's connected to the Internet runs Windows," said Christopher Budd, global threat communications manager at Trend Micro.

Trend Micro has been instrumental in bringing down several hostile cyber operations, including, with U.K. partner The National Crime Agency, Refud.me and Cryptex Reborn. Working with Interpol, Kaspersky Lab, Microsoft and the Cyber Defense Institute, the SIMDA botnet was also eliminated.

Researchers at Trend Micro, one of the world's biggest security software firms, said this week that the software used to infect the Ukrainian utilities has also been found in the networks of a large Ukrainian mining company and a rail company.

Four third-party app stores for Android have apps with a malicious component that seeks root access to devices, according to Trend Micro.

It’s the model that Christopher Budd suggests that companies use when thinking about the threats they face. Budd, a global threat communications manager with Trend Micro, has called this a natural evolution. As there’s more money to be made, criminals will get increasingly sophisticated in how to make it.
