Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Acronis breach identified under incident ID ACR1776673520.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Acronis's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/acronis, the number of followers: 159002, the industry type: Software Development and the number of employees: 1914 employees
After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 678 and after the incident was 559 with a difference of -119 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.
In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on Acronis and their customers.
A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "JanaWare Ransomware Campaign Targets Turkish Users with Stealthy Adwind RAT Variant", has drawn attention.
A newly uncovered ransomware campaign, dubbed *JanaWare*, is actively targeting users in Turkey using a customized version of the Adwind Remote Access Trojan (RAT).
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Systems in Turkey (home users and SMBs), and exposing Files encrypted using AES encryption.
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as JanaWare exemplifies a growing trend of regionally focused ransomware operations that exploit localized vulnerabilities while avoiding global attention, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Turkish-language ransom note directing victims to contact attackers via qTox or Tor-based .onion sites.
Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.
