Trend Micro News

In collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano (Polytechnic University of Milan), Trend Micro has prepared a research report on new attack methods on critical Industry 4.0 environments. Intelligent manufacturing systems are capable of far more than just performing the tasks for which they are normally used. It is precisely this aspect that makes intelligent manufacturing systems interesting for attackers who, among other things, can try to smuggle malicious code into the system undetected. The potentially weak links in the security chain include the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and individually adaptable IIoT devices. In the endangered systems ...

Trend Micro News

Underground forums are platforms for cybercriminals on which they offer stolen data or cybercriminal services for sale. However, there also seems to be more and more inconsistencies in the underground, which is increasingly causing trust in criminal providers to decline. Furthermore, such forums are more often broken up by police authorities, which are increasingly taking action against cybercrime. As a result, the focus of activities is increasingly directed towards e-commerce platforms and communication via Discord, which increases the anonymity of users. In addition, the prices for the illegal products and services offered are falling. Despite the…

“The key to successfully uncovering such an attack is to be able to identify changes in user behavior.” Comment by Egon Kando, Exabeam “The coordinated social engineering attack on Twitter is unprecedented.
