Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the DeltaSpike breach identified under incident ID DELOPETATAPPCELCOU1782491615.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of DeltaSpike's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/deltaspike, the number of followers: 5611, the industry type: Computer and Network Security and the number of employees: 52 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 750 and after the incident was 640 with a difference of -110 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 DeltaSpike and their customers.

Andrey Pivovarov recently reported "Cybersecurity Roundup: Key Threats, Breaches, and Industry Shifts", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

This week’s cybersecurity landscape saw significant developments across state-sponsored attacks, corporate breaches, regulatory interventions, and emerging AI-driven threats.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Transport for London fare refund systems, Administrative networks and macOS systems, and exposing 630 GB of proprietary data (Tata Electronics), Telegram and WhatsApp data (Andrey Pivovarov) and Apple and Tesla manufacturing schematics, plus an estimated financial loss of Millions in remediation costs (Transport for London).

In response, and began remediation that includes Apple patched Beats eavesdropping flaw.

The case underscores how and recommending next steps like Adopt zero-trust architectures, Expedite patching and Decommission legacy systems, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Five Eyes advisory on AI-driven threats.

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 Trusted Relationship (T1199) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating russian authorities exploited Cellebrite software to extract data, Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating cellebrite Software Exploitation listed as vulnerability, and Phishing: Spearphishing Link (T1566.002) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating phishing campaigns against Pivovarov’s associates by ColdRiver. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating macOS.Gaslight backdoor deploys deceptive error messages and Command and Scripting Interpreter: Unix Shell (T1059.004) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating macOS.Gaslight provides an interactive shell. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Create or Modify System Process: Launch Daemon (T1543.004) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating macOS.Gaslight backdoor (Rust-based malware). Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating cellebrite software exploited for iPhone data extraction. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating macOS.Gaslight uses adversarial prompt injection to evade LLM triage and Masquerading: Match Legitimate Name or Location (T1036.005) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating macOS.Gaslight deploys deceptive error messages.
