TrendAI™ Research supplied intelligence over several months that helped disrupt a botnet of more than 1.3 million pre-infected set-top boxes. We look at how the operation worked, its impact, and what the disruption means for defenders.
On 20 October at 15:20 UTC, a Hacker News post leaked details of two critical PHP vulnerabilities that could allow remote code execution. The post was removed, but screenshots circulated on X and Mastodon.
Eight eMudhra intermediate CA keys were compromised, some as weak as 3 bits. Learn the code-signing risk and the steps to hunt for misuse and close the gap from TrendAI™.
A controller linked to BPF backdoor can open a reverse shell, enabling deeper infiltration into compromised networks. Recent attacks have been observed targeting the telecommunications, finance, and retail sectors across South Korea, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Egypt.
A previously disclosed vulnerability in NVIDIA Container Toolkit has an incomplete patch, which, if exploited, could put a wide range of AI infrastructure and sensitive data at risk.
The cyberespionage techniques of Earth Alux, a China-linked APT group, are putting critical industries at risk. The attacks, aimed at the APAC and Latin American regions, leverage powerful tools and techniques to remain hidden while stealing sensitive data.
Trend Research identified Russian threat actor Water Gamayun exploiting CVE-2025-26633, a zero-day vulnerability in the Microsoft Management Console that attackers exploit to execute malicious code and exfiltrate data.
Trend Zero Day Initiative™ (ZDI) uncovered both state-sponsored and cybercriminal groups extensively exploiting ZDI-CAN-25373 (aka ZDI-25-148), a Windows .lnk file vulnerability that enables hidden command execution.
Trend Research analyzed SocGholish’s MaaS framework and its role in deploying RansomHub ransomware through compromised websites, using highly obfuscated JavaScript loaders to evade detection and execute various malicious tasks.
In this blog entry, we uncovered a campaign that uses fake GitHub repositories to distribute SmartLoader, which is then used to deliver Lumma Stealer and other malicious payloads. The campaign leverages GitHub’s trusted reputation to evade detection, using AI-generated content to make fake repositories appear legitimate.
This entry explores how the Chain of Thought reasoning in the DeepSeek-R1 AI model can be susceptible to prompt attacks, insecure output generation, and sensitive data theft.
In this blog entry, we discuss how the Black Basta and Cactus ransomware groups utilized the BackConnect malware to maintain persistent control and exfiltrate sensitive data from compromised machines.
This article offers a fresh perspective on AI security, emphasizing that while core AI models are often the focus, the surrounding infrastructure and cloud services are equally critical to securing AI applications, particularly with the rise of AI-as-a-Service.
