In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Crytek breach identified under incident ID UBICRY1766971965.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Crytek's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crytek, the number of followers: 77031, the industry type: Computer Games and the number of employees: 497 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 726 and after the incident was 603 with a difference of -123 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 Crytek and their customers.

Ubisoft recently reported "Ubisoft MongoBleed Data Breach", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

Ubisoft fell victim to a significant security breach where hackers exploited the MongoBleed vulnerability to steal over 900GB of data, including source code for all its products since 1990.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Ubisoft's internal databases, development environments, and live service game infrastructure, and exposing Over 900GB of data, including source code, unreleased builds, DLCs, and player databases.

In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through No official confirmation from Ubisoft yet.

The case underscores how Ongoing, and recommending next steps like Implement authentication for MongoDB, restrict open ports, enhance monitoring for unauthorized access, and secure development environments.

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.

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 high confidence (95%), with evidence including exploiting the MongoBleed vulnerability—unsecured MongoDB databases with no authentication, and hackers scanned the internet for exposed MongoDB ports. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force: Password Guessing (T1110.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating mongoBleed technique involving unsecured MongoDB databases with no authentication. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local Systems: Code Repositories (T1213.003) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including source code for all Ubisoft products from 1990 to present, and unreleased builds, DLCs, and player databases. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including attackers exfiltrated over 900GB of data, and held the data for 48 hours before demanding a ransom and Transfer Data to Cloud Account (T1537) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating hackers claimed to have exfiltrated 900GB of data (implied external transfer). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with moderate confidence (50%), with evidence including type such as Ransomware, and demanding a ransom (implied encryption or threat of leak) and Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating potential leaks of upcoming titles if ransom not paid. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating unsecured MongoDB databases with no authentication (implied lack of monitoring). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
