Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the CSC - IT Center for Science breach identified under incident ID CSC1770409977.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of CSC - IT Center for Science's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/csc---it-center-for-science, the number of followers: 15685, the industry type: IT Services and IT Consulting and the number of employees: 680 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 755 and after the incident was 673 with a difference of -82 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 CSC - IT Center for Science and their customers.

On 30 January 2024, Finland’s State Centre for ICT Services (Valtori) disclosed Data Breach issues under the banner "Finland’s Government Hit by Major Data Breach Affecting 50,000 Employees".

A significant cybersecurity breach at Finland’s State Centre for ICT Services (Valtori) has exposed work-related data of up to 50,000 government employees, including staff across all ministries.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Mobile Device Management (MDM) system, and exposing Names, work email addresses, phone numbers, device identifiers, with nearly 50,000 records at risk.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Vulnerability patched, system secured.

The case underscores how Ongoing, teams are taking away lessons such as Risks of unpatched vulnerabilities in critical IT infrastructure.

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 high confidence (90%), with evidence including unpatched flaw in a commercial MDM system, and vulnerability stemmed from an unpatched flaw. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials: Credentials In Files (T1552.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating device identifiers tied to government-issued mobile phones and tablets. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating names, work email addresses, phone numbers, and device identifiers accessed and Data from Information Repositories (T1213) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating historical data from users of Valtori’s mobile device management (MDM) system. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating data breach exposing details of up to 50,000 officials. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Indicator Removal: File Deletion (T1070.004) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating deleted data had been marked as removed without being fully erased and Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating unpatched flaw in MDM system allowed access. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
