A recent cybercrime campaign attributed to the ShinyHunters group has targeted at least 100 organizations across multiple sectors, including software, finance, healthcare, and energy.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting SSO accounts (Okta and other identity platforms), and exposing Millions of records allegedly stolen, with nearly Millions (alleged) records at risk.
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
The case underscores how Ongoing (infrastructure identified, breach success unclear).
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.

Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Phishing: Vishing (T1566.004) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating attackers employed voice phishing (vishing) tactics to compromise SSO accounts and Acquire Infrastructure: Domains (T1583.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating threat actors registered fake domains impersonating high-profile companies. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force: Password Guessing (T1110.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating intercepted credentials and manipulated victims into bypassing MFA, Multi-Factor Authentication Request Generation (T1621) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating manipulated victims into approving push notifications or submitting OTPs, and Modify Authentication Process: Multi-Factor Authentication (T1556.006) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating mFA bypass via push notifications or OTP submission. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Use Alternate Authentication Material: Web Session Cookie (T1550.004) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating real-time session orchestration via verbal instructions and Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating compromised single sign-on (SSO) accounts, particularly Okta. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Information Repositories: Code Repositories (T1213.003) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating millions of records allegedly stolen from companies and Data from Local System (T1005) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating pII and credentials compromised via SSO accounts. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating data allegedly sold on dark web; millions of records stolen. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating breach success unclear; no confirmation of data destruction and Data Manipulation: Transmitted Data Manipulation (T1565.002) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating real-time session orchestration via verbal instructions. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
