Microsoft patched a Defender SmartScreen today. @TrendMicro @thezdi discovered it exploited in the wild and has had pre-disclosure protection in place (e.g. in TippingPoint IPS and endpoint behavioral detection) and has broader day-1 coverage now. trendmicro.com/en_us/researc…
Banning the @flipper_net is a knee-jerk reaction to the serious problem of car theft. Criminals can use a wide range of alternate tools with the same effect. The govt should be pushing car manufacturers (Toyota in particular) to urgently improve security.
Criminals have been using sophisticated tools to steal cars. And Canadians are rightfully worried.
Today, I announced we are banning the importation, sale and use of consumer hacking devices, like flippers, used to commit these crimes.

Great blog from my colleague @shanmurphycyber on last weekend’s deepfake scam in Hong Kong.
As promised.. guidance on adjustments companies can make across people, process and tech in an era of AI-driven fraud.
"A Deepfake Scammed a Bank out of $25M — Now What?" by me with input from @EricSkinner for @TrendMicro

Great updated guidelines from @CISACyber on how to #StopRansomware. Lots of great advice in here on how you can protect your organization. cisa.gov/sites/default/files…
Tom Hanks’s AI-faked likeness used in an ad. Attackers can use the same technique to fake audio/video verification for BEC attacks. Suspicious-looking payment request from the CEO? Don’t trust the phone number in the email, have a process! gizmodo.com/deep-fake-tom-ha…
While not much is known right now, it’s sobering to consider that if a presumably well-funded and skilled security team at MGM can get hit, cyber defenders sure do have a tough job.
If you’re at #BlackHat2023 drop by Mandalay I today at 1:50pm for what I think will be a pretty interesting session. We will indeed give out a $100 gift card for the most interesting question.

If you’re at #RSAC come see my talk about cyber insurance today. I’ll be joined by Theresa Le from @CowbellCyber. Moscone West 3022 at 2:25pm!
Join #RSAC session TODAY at 2:25pm with Cowbell’s Theresa Le & @TrendMicro’s @EricSkinner on making #cybersecurity and #cyberinsurance #StrongerTogether and how a shift to better data points and continuous risk assessment is underway: bit.ly/3ZwKdes
This is good coverage of a story that got hyped over the last week. While it’s not an immediate threat, it does seem like Lockbit is coming to the Mac. Enterprises should proactively plan for effective EDR coverage.
MacOS is getting unwanted attention from the Lockbit ransomware group: a variant for Apple machines is in the early stages of development. bit.ly/3AeBR00 #MacOS
The story about scary USB charger cables ("juice jacking") doing the rounds today is hype. It's a theoretical attack that hasn't been seen in the wild, and if real, the chances of it being used against the average person is near-zero. Install your software updates instead. /1
But, these are generally older research projects that have resulted in patches to iOS and Android. Sure, it's good to be concerned if your phone asks "Trust this computer?" when you plug it in to what you think is power. (Say no!) But there are better things to worry about. /4
