Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Black Kite Games breach identified under incident ID BLAMID1787156865.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Black Kite Games's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/black-kite-studios, the number of followers: 0, the industry type: Computer Games and the number of employees: 5 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 795 and after the incident was 709 with a difference of -86 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 Black Kite Games and their customers.

A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "Ransomware Disproportionately Targets Mid-Market Firms, Straining Supply Chain Security", has drawn attention.

A new report from risk management firm Black Kite reveals that mid-market companies (those with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion) face a disproportionate share of ransomware attacks, yet receive far less attention than smaller businesses or large enterprises.

Impact assessments are still underway, so the full scope is not yet clear.

Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.

The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as Mid-market firms are disproportionately targeted by ransomware attacks, yet lack sufficient resources to manage supply chain security risks. Large enterprises' cybersecurity compliance demands on mid-sized vendors are often inadequately monitored due to limited oversight teams.

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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating known exploited vulnerabilities in mid-market firms and External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating mid-market firms often serve as suppliers/customers in supply chains. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware incidents analyzed (13,336 cases). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware type incident, data encryption implied and Defacement (T1491) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware attacks often include defacement for extortion. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware incidents often involve data exfiltration for double extortion. Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation of Remote Services (T1210) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating supply chain interconnectedness amplifies risks. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
