Jakarta - A hacker claims to have managed to break into the Trend Micro. Not only that, players also claimed to have been put 'back door' that can be used to control the anti-virus service providers. Trend Micro is one of the anti-virus manufacturers who also provide security services for its users. Manufacturers based in the State Sakura also offers cloud computing services for the needy. However recently a hacker claimed to have managed to break into Trend Micro and SKYES, third party companies who assist the service Trend Micro continues to be enjoyed to its customers. To prove his success , the figure of the hacker with a Twitter account @ OfficialComrade reveal some evidence through pastebin site. It includes also a link to download the database file that is claimed to belong to Trend Micro sized 492 MB. "We will release all of their email database, Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Attachments, and all other contents in the folder. You will need a dbx viewer to view the contents of the file, "wrote the perpetrator, as quoted detikINET from network world, Tuesday (03/07/2012). yet known whether the hackers claim can be proved completely, but Trend Micro is not the only vendor Internet security is attacked by hackers.
