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.

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%), supported by evidence indicating attack vector and method undisclosed, but PII exposure implies unauthorized access and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating fintech company with potential unpatched vulnerabilities in public-facing systems. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials (T1552) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating sSNs and names exposed, suggesting possible credential harvesting or misuse. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating high-sensitivity PII (SSNs, names) compromised; likely exfiltrated and Automated Exfiltration (T1020) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating large-scale PII exposure implies automated data transfer.
