Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Local Government Ireland breach identified under incident ID LOCLOC1773852787.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Local Government Ireland's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/local-government-ireland, the number of followers: 1266, the industry type: Government Administration and the number of employees: None 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 760 and after the incident was 734 with a difference of -26 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 Local Government Ireland and their customers.

A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "Cyber Attack Disrupts Planning Services at Two UK Local Authorities", has drawn attention.

Two UK local authorities continue to face severe disruptions to their planning services six weeks after a cyber attack crippled their systems.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Planning services, critical digital infrastructure.

In response, and began remediation that includes Rebuilding systems from backups (ongoing), while recovery efforts such as Manual workarounds, recovery efforts underway continue.

The case underscores how Ongoing.

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 (60%), supported by evidence indicating critical digital infrastructure offline, highlights vulnerability of public sector IT networks and External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating severe disruptions to planning services, systems crippled. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating incidents often lead to prolonged outages as organizations rebuild systems from backups, Defacement (T1491) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating critical digital infrastructure offline, manual workarounds required, and Endpoint Denial of Service (T1499) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating planning services hit by cyber attack, unable to process applications for six weeks. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Account Manipulation (T1098) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating systems remain offline, recovery efforts ongoing for months. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Indicator Removal (T1070) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating extent of the breach and specific systems affected have not been disclosed and Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating critical digital infrastructure offline, manual workarounds required. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating no confirmation whether attack involved data theft. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
