Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Link11 GmbH breach identified under incident ID LIN1772447022.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Link11 GmbH's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/link11, the number of followers: 7122, the industry type: Computer and Network Security and the number of employees: 112 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 751 and after the incident was 734 with a difference of -17 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 Link11 GmbH and their customers.

On 02 March 2026, a cybersecurity incident called "DDoS Attacks in Europe Reach Unprecedented Scale in 2025" came to light.

DDoS attacks in Europe surged to record levels in 2025, evolving from isolated disruptions into a persistent threat to digital infrastructure.

Impact assessments are still underway, so the full scope is not yet clear.

In response, and began remediation that includes Always-on DDoS protection, Web Application & API Protection (WAAP).

The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as DDoS is no longer a sporadic event but a permanent strategic threat to digital business models. Proactive, architecture-level resilience is essential, and recommending next steps like Adopt always-on DDoS protection, Web Application & API Protection (WAAP), AI-driven detection, and automated mitigation. Integrate cybersecurity into business continuity plans.

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 Impact tactic, the analysis identified Network Denial of Service (T1498) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including dDoS attacks in Europe surged to record levels in 2025, three attacks exceeded 1 Tbit/s, and longest attack lasted 12,388 minutes (over eight days) and Endpoint Denial of Service: Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004) with moderate to high confidence (85%), with evidence including low-and-slow application-layer assaults to evade defenses, and hybrid tactics combining high-volume strikes with application-layer assaults. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Direct Network Flood (T1498.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), with evidence including high-volume strikes exceeding 1 Tbit/s, and 509 terabytes of data in a coordinated campaign and Application Exhaustion Flood (T1499.003) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating low-and-slow application-layer assaults mimicking legitimate traffic. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Network Denial of Service (T1498) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including dDoS as a permanent strategic threat to digital business models, and 70% of targeted organizations faced follow-up attacks. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
