This could be because attacks are becoming more targeted, along with Trend Micro&#8217;s successful blocking of ransomware affiliate tools such as Trickbot and BazarLoader.<\/p>\n<p>Business email compromise (BEC) detections also fell by 11%. However, there was an 83% increase in BEC threats detected using Trend Micro&#8217;s AI-powered writing style analysis feature, indicating that these scams may be getting more sophisticated.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/hong-kong\/2022\/06\/23\/144777\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG SAR &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 23 June 2022 &#8211; Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, blocked over 33.6 million cloud email threats in 2021, a 101% increase on the previous year.
