Trend Micro CTO puts record straight

A recent hacking attack that affected Trend Micro’s website did not endanger internet surfers and was handled correctly, the company’s CTO claimed today.

On March 12 the company’s website was affected by a wide-ranging web attack, as reported by Infoworld.com . Thought by Google to have hit some 20 million websites, this Javascript attack attempted to redirect users to a website that would load malicious code onto their PCs, and could in turn have led to hackers gaining user information.

However according to Trend Micro’s chief technology officer, Raymond Genes – speaking to itp.net today – users of Trend Micro’s website were kept safe by its anti-Javascript coding approach.
