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 390 and after the incident was 288 with a difference of -102 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 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their customers.
A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "AI-Driven Cybercrime Losses Hit Record $20.87 Billion in 2025, FBI Reports", has drawn attention.
Cybercrime losses surged to an unprecedented $20.87 billion in 2025, with artificial intelligence playing an increasingly central role in fraud schemes, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) report.
The disruption is felt across the environment, plus an estimated financial loss of $20.87 billion.
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as AI is increasingly used by criminal networks to enhance the scale and sophistication of attacks, including deepfake voices, cloned identities, and fabricated video content. Cyber-enabled fraud crimes leveraging technology dominate the landscape, with investment fraud causing the greatest financial damage.
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.
