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.

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 Supply Chain Compromise (T1195) with moderate to high confidence (80%), with evidence including data breach affecting an external law firm, and breaches at external partners can compromise institutions and Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including third-party vulnerabilities in financial services, and law firm handling sensitive client information. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Data from Cloud Storage (T1530) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating potentially exposing data tied to Goldman Sachs’ fund operations and Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating sensitive client information handled by the law firm. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Steal Application Access Token (T1528) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating third-party law firms access to sensitive data. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating data breach involving sensitive client information and Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating no details on encryption, but breach implies potential impact. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
