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.

The gang's operator was banned from popular hacker forums Exploit and XSS, making it difficult for him to recruit new members, according to a Trend Micro report.

“Why do people drink one soda over another? Because the brand is so strong,” says Robert McArdle, a director on Trend Micro’s cybercrime research team at Trend Micro, which helped in the investigation. “And if you can destroy that you’re left with soda water.”

“The malicious repository containing the PoC appears to be a fork from the original creator,” Trend Micro said in its report. “In this case, the original Python files were replaced with the executable poc[dot]exe that was packed using UPX.”

From Trend Micro's Jon Clay: Proactive defense needs to be prioritized, because offense is going to stay on the back foot.

Researchers at cybersecurity company Trend Micro first spotted Meta’s VR headsets appearing in its threat intelligence residential proxy data earlier this year, before tracking down that teenagers were using Big Mama to play Gorilla Tag.

Trend Micro, a major cybersecurity vendor, has been quietly rolling out a new "AI brain" that gives customers the ability to automate their threat defenses.

Despite the large number of arrests, the operation will likely result only in a brief reduction in cybercriminal activity, as disrupted groups will quickly pivot and recreate their infrastructure, says Stephen Hilt, a senior threat researcher with cybersecurity firm Trend Micro, which also collaborated with authorities on the global intelligence support.

The reach of the China-linked Salt Typhoon gang extends beyond telecommunications giants in the United States, and its arsenal includes several backdoors – including a brand-new malware dubbed GhostSpider – according to Trend Micro researchers.

The gang, tracked as "Water Barghest," has already compromised more than 20,000 IoT devices, including small office and home office (SOHO) routers used by businesses, by using automated scripts to identify and compromise vulnerable devices, according to new research from Trend Micro.

“On the surface, [CISA’s program is] very good,” Dustin Childs, head of threat awareness in the Zero Day Initiative at Trend Micro, tells CSO. “Every enterprise, especially any large enterprise like the US government, should have some vulnerability disclosure platform.”

Recent research through Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) has surfaced half a dozen vulnerabilities in the Mazda IVI.

“CISA has a good opportunity to build this out and expand who supports it,” said Jon Clay, vice president of threat intelligence at cyber firm Trend Micro, “as the existing pledges are a very small fraction of developers in the world.”

As part of the operation, which ran from April 1 to August 31, law enforcement agencies in 95 Interpol member countries and private-sector partners such as Group-IB, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and Team Cymru analyzed roughly 30,000 suspicious IP addresses.

It’s been a headline year for democracy, with over two billion voters casting their ballots in dozens of countries worldwide. But democracy has also never been under greater threat—and in many cases, AI-powered trickery is to blame.

While Synology and QNAP hurried out security updates, vendors are given 90 days until Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative releases details on bugs disclosed during the contest and usually take their time to release patches.

Risk management and security vendor Trend Micro is looking ahead to 2025 as a year to build upon program enhancements and platform updates that were unveiled throughout 2024.

Trend Micro has acquired TippingPoint IPS and sells it both as a standalone product as well as integrated into their central platform called Vision One. It is available as a virtual machine, a variety of hardware appliances or as a cloud subscription for protecting AWS workloads.

Trend Micro revealed today it will extend an alliance with NVIDIA to include a Morpheus platform that harnesses graphical processor units (GPUs) to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to security operations.

Enter a third study by Trend Micro, a security scam detection app builder. It revealed that a whopping 73% of people think scams have gotten worse in the past year, and almost 80% are worried someone in their family might fall victim.

NIST has made some progress clearing its backlog of security vulnerability reports to process – though it's not quite on target as hoped.

Nearly two-thirds of organizations lack 24/7 cybersecurity coverage throughout the year due to staffing shortages, a Trend Micro report published Thursday revealed.

In 2022, Trend handled over six trillion threat queries from customers across 65+ countries. Using AI trained on this data, Trend blocked more than 146 billion threats, three billion of which were ransomware.

Trend Micro released its ransomware report for 1H which found that Canada is the top 3rd country affected by successful RaaS and extortion attacks in the first and second quarters of 2023, just behind U.S. and the U.K Greg Young sat down with WhatsYourTech to detail how this affects small businesses while highlighting measures that can be taken to safeguard against these threats.

Cybercriminals upped their activity in the first half of 2023 compared to the previous year, and one thing that’s fuelling the increase in cyber attacks is companies’ adoption of AI, according to a previous Trend Micro report.

Cybersecurity vendor Trend Micro Inc. has announced a complete redesign of its worldwide partner program, which it said will accelerate business growth for partners and “allow them to further deliver exceptional value to end customers.” The program is built around the Trend Vision One platform, which the company said in a release “creates opportunities for partners to deliver services and assessments for both enterprise and SMB-focused partners.

Greg Young highlights a 35% increase in targeted attacks and advises users to exercise caution against phishing attempts by avoiding suspicious links and verifying URLs in an interview discussing a recent incident where a Toronto student lost $3,000 to scammers who exploited a phishing attempt by sending a fake CIBC notice.

Canada was the third most affected country in the world for successful ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) and extortion attacks in the first and second quarters of 2023, said a report from cybersecurity company Trend Micro. The report, LockBit, BlackCat, and Clop Prevail as Top RaaS Groups: Ransomware in 1H 2023, found Canada only behind the U.S. and U.K. for RaaS and extortion attacks.

Here are numbers released this week by Trend Micro for you to think about: The number of victim organizations claimed by ransomware groups in the first half of this year was 1,999. That’s 45 per cent more than the same period in 2022. Corporate and IT leaders should consider this: In the first half of this year businesses with 200 or fewer employees made up the biggest number of victims of the top three ransomware groups.
