Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Airports Authority of India breach identified under incident ID AIR1764590801.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Airports Authority of India's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/airportsauthorityofindia, the number of followers: 117375, the industry type: Airlines and Aviation and the number of employees: 7491 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 755 and after the incident was 736 with a difference of -19 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 Airports Authority of India and their customers.

Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI Airport) recently reported "Cyber Attacks on Seven Major Airports in India via GPS Spoofing", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

The central government confirmed that seven major airports across India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, were targeted by cyber attacks involving GPS spoofing.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting GPS-based navigational systems and aircraft landing procedures.

In response, teams activated the incident response plan, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like contingency protocols and security measures to stabilize air traffic control systems, and stakeholders are being briefed through government disclosure to Parliament and media reports (e.g., Matrubhumi).

The case underscores how Ongoing (government acknowledged incident; no further details provided).

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 Compromise Infrastructure: GPS Spoofing (T1584.006) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including spoofing of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals affecting aircraft navigation, and false GPS signals broadcast to mislead aircraft navigation systems. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Endpoint Denial of Service: Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004) with moderate to high confidence (85%), with evidence including technical anomalies, including spoofing of navigational systems, and potential risk to navigation accuracy during landing procedures and Network Denial of Service: Direct Network Flood (T1498.002) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating gPS spoofing occurs when false GPS signals are broadcast to receivers. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Masquerading: Match Legitimate Name or Location (T1036.005) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating false GPS signals broadcast to receivers, misleading aircraft navigation systems. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
