New Malware Disguises Itself as Trend Micro Component

Trend Micro is warning users of a new variant of malware. The malware may be new, but it uses the same old tactics to get you to click on a harmless link to 'Trend Micro' which in turn, executes the Trojan. As usual, savvy surfers already know how to avoid the pitfalls, but hundreds of thousands still click their way into trouble every day.

While threats trying to play themselves off as security solutions is nothing new, and neither are Bitcoin miners dropped by Trojans, putting the two together appears to be something new. Trend Micro discovered the malware and detects it as TROJ_RIMECUD.AJL.
