GlobalLogic Breach Incident Score: Analysis & Impact (GLO0602406111125)

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the GlobalLogic breach identified under incident ID GLO0602406111125.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of GlobalLogic's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/globallogic, the number of followers: 1261521, the industry type: Software Development and the number of employees: 32464 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 804 and after the incident was 712 with a difference of -92 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 GlobalLogic and their customers.

On 12 October 2025, GlobalLogic disclosed Data Breach and Ransomware Attack (unconfirmed encryption) issues under the banner "GlobalLogic Data Breach via Oracle E-Business Suite Zero-Day Exploit".

GlobalLogic confirmed a data breach in July 2025 where hackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the Oracle E-Business Suite, compromising personal information of 10,471 individuals.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Oracle E-Business Suite (Finance & HR modules), and exposing True, with nearly 10471 records at risk.

In response, teams activated the incident response plan, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Investigation launched post-Oracle advisory (2025-10-04), while recovery efforts such as 24 months of free credit monitoring for victims (enrollment deadline: 90 days from notice) continue, and stakeholders are being briefed through Victim notification letters and Public disclosure.

The case underscores how Ongoing (breach detected 2025-10-09, initial access traced to 2025-07-10), with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Victim notification letters with credit monitoring offer.

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 high confidence (95%), with evidence including zero-day vulnerability in Oracle’s E-Business Suite (public-facing HR/finance system), and attackers had unauthorized access since July 10, 2025 via Oracle exploit. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Account Manipulation (T1098) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating unauthorized access since July 10, 2025 (3-month dwell time suggests persistence mechanisms). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified OS Credential Dumping (T1003) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating finance systems and HR databases targeted (likely required credential escalation) and Credentials from Password Stores (T1555) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating oracle E-Business Suite compromise (often stores credentials for integrated systems). Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified File and Directory Discovery (T1083) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating highly sensitive data exfiltrated (implies reconnaissance of file structures) and System Information Discovery (T1082) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating finance & HR modules targeted (suggests mapping of Oracle EBS environment). Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including sSNs, bank details, passport info, salary records exfiltrated from Oracle EBS, and 10,471 individuals affected (structured data collection). Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol (T1048) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltration confirmed (method unspecified, but Clop typically uses encrypted channels) and Automated Exfiltration (T1020) with moderate to high confidence (75%), supported by evidence indicating large-scale data theft (10,471 records) suggests automated collection/transfer. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware Attack (unconfirmed encryption) (Clop typically encrypts, but not confirmed here), Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating no confirmation of destruction, but Clop’s data theft and extortion model may include threats of deletion, and Data Theft (T1659) with high confidence (100%), with evidence including data exfiltration confirmed with extremely high sensitivity (PII/financial data), and clop’s modus operandi involves data theft and extortion. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Indicator Removal (T1070) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating delayed detection (3-month gap) suggests log tampering or cleanup and Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating zero-day exploit (may have disabled Oracle EBS logging/monitoring). Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Remote Services (T1021) with moderate confidence (65%), supported by evidence indicating finance systems and HR databases accessed (likely moved laterally from initial Oracle EBS compromise). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
