Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Lockheed Martin breach identified under incident ID LOC1774283448.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Lockheed Martin's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lockheed-martin, the number of followers: 3038699, the industry type: Defense and Space Manufacturing and the number of employees: 104489 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 763 and after the incident was 752 with a difference of -11 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 Lockheed Martin and their customers.
Lockheed Martin recently reported "Lockheed Martin Targeted in Alleged Pro-Iran Hacktivist Attack", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.
Lockheed Martin, a leading aerospace and defense contractor, has been targeted by a pro-Iran hacktivist group known as APT Iran, which claims to have stolen 375 terabytes of sensitive data, including blueprints for the F-35 fighter jet and other corporate information.
The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing 375 terabytes of sensitive data.
In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Public statement acknowledging awareness of the alleged breach.
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 (50%), supported by evidence indicating lockheed Martin targeted by pro-Iran hacktivist group APT Iran and Trusted Relationship (T1199) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating state-aligned hacktivists to high-profile defense contractors. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating aPT Iran claims to have stolen 375 terabytes of sensitive data and Credentials from Password Stores (T1555) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating blueprints for the F-35 fighter jet compromised. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating 375 terabytes of sensitive data, including F-35 blueprints and Data from Information Repositories (T1213) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating corporate information compromised. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltration confirmed, 375 TB stolen and Exfiltration Over Web Service (T1567) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating claims shared on Telegram, a platform for cybercriminals. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating ransom demand of $400 million for withholding data and Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating threat to release data to U.S. adversaries. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Ingress Tool Transfer (T1105) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating aPT Iran groups history of critical infrastructure attacks. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
