LAST UPDATED: SEP 19, 2024

Trend Micro would like to inform customers and the general public about a supposed email coming from Trend Micro Support luring users to open a malicious attachment in word format.

Why is it fake?

If you received an email with a file attachment that appears that we sent, do not open, run or execute the attached file and discard it.

Can my Trend Micro program detect it?
