Honest Green Breach Incident Score: Analysis & Impact (HON2702127111125)

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Honest Green breach identified under incident ID HON2702127111125.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Honest Green's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/honest-green, the number of followers: 656, the industry type: Wholesale and the number of employees: 5 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 746 and after the incident was 691 with a difference of -55 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 Honest Green and their customers.

On 09 June 2024, United Natural Foods (UNFI) disclosed Cyberattack, Operational Disruption and Supply Chain Attack issues under the banner "Cyberattack on United Natural Foods (UNFI) Disrupts Supply Chain, Causes Up to $400M in Lost Sales".

United Natural Foods (UNFI), a major food distributor and wholesaler, suffered a cyberattack in June 2024 that forced a complete network shutdown.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Network-wide shutdown, Electronic ordering systems and Customized reporting platforms (partially), plus an estimated financial loss of $400 million (lost sales), $60 million (net income loss).

In response, teams activated the incident response plan, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Complete network shutdown and Manual workarounds, and began remediation that includes System restoration and Third-party cybersecurity support, while recovery efforts such as Restoration of electronic ordering systems (by 2024-06-16), Full operational capacity restored by 2024-06-26 and Catch-up on delayed business processes (purchase orders, invoicing, payments) continue, and stakeholders are being briefed through Business update call with analysts/investors and CEO statement acknowledging supply chain impact.

The case underscores how Ongoing (recovery phase; cyber insurance reimbursement expected in FY2026), with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Business update call with analysts/investors (July 2024).

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 Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating attack linked to **Scattered Spider**, known for exploiting valid accounts in cloud environments and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating network-wide shutdown suggests exploitation of externally accessible systems like Electronic ordering systems. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating complete network shutdown and 10-day downtime (though no explicit ransomware confirmation) and Endpoint Denial of Service: Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating forced shutdown of core systems (Electronic ordering systems, Customized reporting platforms). Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Remote Services: Remote Desktop Protocol (T1021.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating scattered Spider’s known TTPs include RDP abuse for internal movement; **network-wide shutdown** implies lateral spread. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating complete network shutdown suggests disabling of security/operational tools. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols (T1071.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating scattered Spider typically uses web protocols (e.g., HTTPS) for C2; no explicit evidence but aligned with actor profile. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
