In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the French Healthcare breach identified under incident ID GREFRE1768723140.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of French Healthcare's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/french-healthcare-en, the number of followers: 11000, the industry type: Hospitals and Health Care and the number of employees: 1 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 757 and after the incident was 598 with a difference of -159 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 French Healthcare and their customers.

A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "Massive Data Leak Exposes 45 Million French Records in Suspected Criminal Compilation", has drawn attention.

A misconfigured cloud database hosted in France exposed over 45 million records belonging to French citizens, likely compiled by malicious actors from multiple breached sources.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Cloud Database, and exposing 45 million records, with nearly 45 million records at risk.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Server secured by hosting provider.

Overall, the incident is a reminder of why proactive monitoring and strong governance matter.

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 moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating misconfigured cloud database hosted in France exposed over 45 million records and Compromise Infrastructure: Cloud Accounts (T1584.005) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating unprotected cloud repository...exposed after researchers notified the hosting provider. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Gather Victim Identity Information: Credentials (T1589.001) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating 9.2M healthcare professional records, 23M voter entries, 6M financial profiles with IBANs/BICs. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Information Repositories: Code Repositories (T1213.003) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating cRM records, automotive insurance and vehicle registration data compromised and Data from Local System (T1005) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating dataset designed for identity cross-linking from multiple breached sources. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Transfer Data to Cloud Account (T1537) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating 45 million records exposed in misconfigured cloud database and Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating data likely compiled by cybercriminals for resale or identity fraud. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating dataset structured for identity cross-linking enabling synthetic identity creation and Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating duration of the leak remains unknown; potential long-term exposure. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating unprotected repository suggests lack of monitoring or access controls. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
