Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the ADDA.io breach identified under incident ID ADD3230332112425.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of ADDA.io's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/addasoftware, the number of followers: 19724, the industry type: Software Development and the number of employees: 170 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 753 and after the incident was 658 with a difference of -95 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 ADDA.io and their customers.
On 24 November 2025, Adda.io (3Five8 Technologies) disclosed Data Breach issues under the banner "Data Breach at Adda.io Exposing 1.86 Million User Records".
A hacker using the alias 'Blinkers' claimed to have leaked a database containing personal details of over 1.86 million (18.6 lakh) users of Adda.io, a community and housing society management platform.
The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing True, with nearly 1,860,000 records at risk.
In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Media outreach by *The Indian Express* for confirmation; no official statement yet.
The case underscores how Unconfirmed (Adda.io has not responded to media inquiries), and recommending next steps like Replace MD5 hashing with bcrypt/Argon2 for password storage, Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user accounts and Conduct third-party security audits to validate GDPR/ISO 27001 compliance.
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.
MITRE ATT&CK® Correlation Analysis
Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including high value targets such as User PII, Authentication Credentials, and exploited weak MD5-hashed passwords for credential access and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating root causes such as Potential lack of intrusion detection/monitoring, Possible misconfiguration in database security. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials: Credentials In Files (T1552.001) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including mD5-hashed passwords in leaked database dump, and sensitivity of data such as High (PII + weak password hashes) and Brute Force: Password Guessing (T1110.001) with moderate to high confidence (85%), with evidence including identity theft risk such as High (Exposed PII enables phishing/credential stuffing), and mD5 hashes are crackable with modern tools. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including database dump (likely CSV/JSON) containing 1.86M records, and data exfiltration such as true. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol: Exfiltration Over Unencrypted/Obfuscated Non-C2 Protocol (T1048.003) with moderate to high confidence (80%), with evidence including data exfiltration such as true, and data leaked on underground cybercrime forums (145 MB uncompressed). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Phishing for Information: Spearphishing via Service (T1598.003) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including identity theft risk such as High (Exposed PII enables phishing/credential stuffing), and personally identifiable information such as Full Names, Phone Numbers, Email Addresses and Malicious Account Use (T1659) with moderate to high confidence (75%), with evidence including data sold on dark web such as true, and threat actor motivation such as Financial Gain (Data Sale). Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including adda.io is a community and housing society management platform (SaaS), and no MFA mentioned; weak hashing suggests account takeover risk. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
