Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Freedom Mobile breach identified under incident ID FRE1764898604.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Freedom Mobile's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/freedom-mobile, the number of followers: 24341, the industry type: Telecommunications and the number of employees: 1615 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 514 and after the incident was 449 with a difference of -65 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 Freedom Mobile and their customers.

On 23 October 2025, Freedom Mobile disclosed Data Breach issues under the banner "Freedom Mobile Data Hack".

Freedom Mobile detected unusual activity within its customer account management platform, revealing a sophisticated breach that compromised personal information for a limited but unspecified number of customers.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Customer account management platform, and exposing Personal information (full names, postal addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, account numbers).

In response, teams activated the incident response plan, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Terminated illicit access, disinfected compromised systems, and stakeholders are being briefed through Notified affected customers through breach letters.

The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as Third-party access points can serve as weak links in otherwise fortified networks, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Breach letters sent to affected customers.

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 Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including exploited a subcontractor’s account, and third-party subcontractor account exploitation and Trusted Relationship (T1199) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including exploiting a subcontractor’s account, and third-party access points can serve as weak links. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Steal Application Access Token (T1528) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating exploited a subcontractor’s account (implied access token misuse). Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating siphoned off data including full names, postal addresses, etc. and Automated Exfiltration (T1020) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltration such as Yes. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Hide Artifacts: Email Hiding Rules (T1564.008) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating unusual activity detected in early hours (possible evasion). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
