Security vendor Trend Micro’s UK and Japanese Web sites were hacked last week; attackers managed to inject malicious iFrames into their “virus encyclopaedia” pages.

Trend Micro’s chief technology officer for Internet content security, Dave Rand, told ZDNet.com.au sister site ZDNet.co.uk on Friday that the company was investigating the attack.

“It was an iFrame-injection attack, which redirected users to a malicious site,” said Rand. “We’re still in the process of working on the details of how, why and what.”

Security vendor Sophos said in a blog post that users stood a chance of being infected with a Trojan downloader, although Trend Micro could not confirm that claim, as the incident was still under investigation.
