Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Hellenic Army breach identified under incident ID MINHELGRE1773843944.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Hellenic Army's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hellenic-army-es, the number of followers: 7734, the industry type: Armed Forces and the number of employees: 1431 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 756 and after the incident was 733 with a difference of -23 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 Hellenic Army and their customers.
Ukrainian government entities recently reported "FancyBear’s OPSEC Blunder Exposes Russian Espionage Operations Targeting NATO-Aligned Governments", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.
A critical operational security (OPSEC) failure by the Russian state-backed threat group APT28 (FancyBear) exposed a live command-and-control (C2) server containing stolen credentials, two-factor authentication (2FA) secrets, and detailed logs of ongoing cyberespionage campaigns.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Roundcube webmail, SquirrelMail webmail and Email servers, and exposing 2,800+ exfiltrated emails, 240+ credential sets (including TOTP 2FA secrets), 140+ persistent email forwarding rules, 11,500+ harvested contact addresses, with nearly 2,800+ emails, 240+ credential sets, 11,500+ contact addresses records at risk.
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
The case underscores how Ongoing (as of early 2026), teams are taking away lessons such as Basic OPSEC failures (e.g., exposed HTTP directories) can undermine even sophisticated state-sponsored cyber operations. Webmail platforms like Roundcube and SquirrelMail are high-value targets for espionage. ManageSieve integrations must be hardened to prevent persistent access via email forwarding rules, and recommending next steps like Monitor for indicators like 203.161.50[.]145 and zhblz[.]com, Harden webmail platforms (Roundcube, SquirrelMail) against XSS and ManageSieve abuses and Implement enhanced monitoring for unusual email forwarding rules.
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 Phishing (T1566) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating phishing emails directed victims to a fake Google Docs domain, Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating roundcube and SquirrelMail webmail vulnerabilities exploited, and Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws deployed malicious JavaScript payloads. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified JavaScript (T1059.007) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating malicious JavaScript payloads (worker.js, keyTwoAuth.js) executed and User Execution: Malicious Link (T1204.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating fake Google Docs domain (zhblz.com) used in phishing. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Email Rules (T1137.005) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating 140+ persistent email forwarding rules via ManageSieve. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Credentials from Web Browsers (T1555.003) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating 240+ credential sets stolen, including TOTP 2FA secrets and Steal Application Access Token (T1528) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating tOTP seeds and recovery codes extracted via keyTwoAuth.js.

Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols (T1071.001) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating c2 server hosted on Namecheap infrastructure (203.161.50.145) and Ingress Tool Transfer (T1105) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating metasploit payloads delivered via fake reCAPTCHA (ClickFix). Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltrated to C2 server (203.161.50.145) for 500+ days. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Masquerading: Match Legitimate Name or Location (T1036.005) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating fake Google Docs domain (zhblz.com) mimicked legitimate URLs and Hide Artifacts: Hidden Window (T1564.003) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating silent JavaScript payloads (worker.js) executed in background. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
