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 moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating select IT systems were compromised by a malware attack (no vector specified, but public-facing systems are common entry points) and Phishing: Spearphishing Link (T1566.002) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating attack vector unspecified; malware attacks often leverage phishing as initial access. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating malware attack implies execution of malicious payloads on compromised systems and User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating select IT systems were compromised by a malware attack (suggests user interaction with malicious files). Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Scheduled Task/Job: Scheduled Task (T1053.005) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating malware often establishes persistence via scheduled tasks (no direct evidence but implied by generic malware behavior). Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Indicator Removal: File Deletion (T1070.004) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating immediate actions to contain the impact suggests attacker or defender may have deleted files (ambiguous but plausible) and Impair Defenses: Disable/Modify Tools (T1562.001) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating malware often disables security tools; no direct evidence but implied by successful compromise. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating malware attack (could include ransomware, though no encryption/exfiltration confirmed) and Endpoint Denial of Service: Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating select IT systems were compromised (potential DoS via malware, though no downtime reported). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
