Trend Micro, one of the biggest antivirus makers on the planet, has been left a little flummoxed at a finding revealed Tuesday: that the best-known antivirus in North Korea has contained some of the Japanese giant's code for as long as 13 years.
North Korea Antivirus Contains 'Illegally Copied' Trend Micro Code
The company said its intellectual property had been illegally copied by the North Korean AV tool, SiliVaccine, as researchers at Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point found in products dating back to 2005. But Trend wasn't sure how its tech was illicitly obtained. Researchers believe it's more likely that one of Trend Micro's partners, rather than the security company itself, was either targeted or formed a business partnership with the makers of the North Korean antivirus.
A Trend spokesperson told Forbes a 10-year-old version of its scan engine, VSAPI, had been repackaged in SiliVaccine, but it was unclear how it'd been obtained in the first place. "It's available in the vast majority of products, online testing tools and even third-party security products through various OEMs [original equipment manufacturers]," a spokesperson said.
