The incident score before the incident was 845 and after the incident was 823 with a difference of -22 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 Amazon and their customers.

TikTok recently reported "TikTok GDPR Violation for Data Transfers to China", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

TikTok was fined €530 million by Ireland's Data Protection Commission for storing European users’ data on Chinese servers between July 2020 and November 2022 without adequate safeguards or transparency.

The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing European users’ data stored on Chinese servers, plus an estimated financial loss of €530 million fine.

Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.

The case underscores how Completed (fine upheld), teams are taking away lessons such as Need for stricter safeguards in international data transfers, especially to non-U.S. countries, and recommending next steps like Implement robust data protection measures for cross-border data flows, ensure transparency in data storage practices, and comply with GDPR requirements for international transfers.

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.
