Nearly half (49%) of global organizations feel more exposed to security breaches because of skills shortages, according to a new Trend Micro study. The vendor polled 1,125 IT decision makers around the world and found that nearly two-thirds (64%) have experienced an increase in attacks over the past year.

Those thinking artificial intelligence (AI) will steal their jobs need not worry – the software is only filling the blanks, at the moment. And the blanks, at least when it comes to cybersecurity, are quite large. According to the latest Trend Micro figures, organisations worldwide are faced with an ‘ongoing and often detrimental’ shortage of cybersecurity talent.

We hear about them all the time, another company getting its data breached, another credit card scanner hacked, but do you really know what a data breach is exactly and what it means if it happens to you? Here’s a quick rundown of data breaches and what you should know.

As long as there are ATMs, hackers will be there to drain them of money. And while ATM-targeted “jackpotting” malware—which forces machines to spit out cash—has been on the rise for several years, but a recent variant on the scheme takes that concept literally, turning the machine’s interface into something like a slot machine. One that pays out every time.

But, more important, it’s a reminder that protecting your personal data is vital.

A global team of researchers recently took industrial system hacking to a whole new — and visual — level by exploiting flaws they discovered in radio frequency (RF) controllers that move cranes and other large machinery at construction sites and in factories.

In the future, industrial robots may create jobs, boost productivity and spur higher wages. But one thing seems more certain for now: They’re vulnerable to hackers.

Hundreds of e-commerce websites have been hit with a card-skimming attack that compromised an advertising plugin, according to research from Trend Micro and RiskIQ.

Federico Maggi will never forget the first time he saw a crane being hacked. Last March, he was on a strange kind of road trip. Travelling the Lombardi region of Italy with his colleague Marco Balduzzi in a red Volkswagen Polo, the pair hoped to convince construction site managers, who they’d never met or spoken with before, to let them have a crack at taking control of cranes with their hacking tools.

Most car manufacturers would dread the idea of someone hacking one of their vehicles, but Tesla has decided to go the other way and open up its software to a hacking contest called Pwn2Own in Vancouver.

Another day, another batch of bad apps in Google Play. Researchers at security firm Trend Micro have discovered dozens of apps, including popular utilities and games, to serve a ton of deceptively displayed ads — including full-screen ads, hidden ads and ads running in the background to squeeze as much money out of unsuspecting Android users.

New research has highlighted an old problem: The Internet of Things isn't exactly secure. Hardly news, you might say, but the researchers from Trend Micro discovered that two popular IoT protocols are insecure by design. So insecure, indeed, that they are putting both 'Industry 4.0' smart factory implementations and smart cities at risk. In fact, these are the design flaws that could quite literally turn the lights out.

Cybersecurity firm Trend Micro today published a report on the state of IoT security. The company found that two of the leading machine-to-machine (M2M) protocols have inherent design issues, and are frequently deployed in an insecure manner.
