Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the IBM breach identified under incident ID IBM1785357547.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of IBM's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ibm, the number of followers: 19659540, the industry type: IT Services and IT Consulting and the number of employees: 336062 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 573 and after the incident was 491 with a difference of -82 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 IBM and their customers.

A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "Canadian Data Breaches Hit Record Costs as Attacks Grow in Scale and Duration", has drawn attention.

A new report from IBM reveals that data breaches are inflicting increasingly severe financial damage on Canadian organizations, with the average cost surging to $7.11 million, a rise driven by larger-scale attacks and prolonged containment efforts.

The disruption is felt across the environment, plus an estimated financial loss of $7.11 million (average).

Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.

The case underscores how and recommending next steps like Heightened cyber resilience across industries.

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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating larger-scale attacks and prolonged containment efforts and Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating growing trend of cyber incidents becoming more complex. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force (T1110) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating attacks growing in scale and duration and OS Credential Dumping (T1003) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating prolonged containment efforts suggest credential compromise. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating data breaches inflicting increasingly severe financial damage and Transfer Data to Cloud Account (T1537) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating larger-scale attacks and operational disruptions. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating prolonged containment efforts and operational disruptions and Defacement (T1491) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating reputational harm mentioned in impact. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
