Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the London 2012 breach identified under incident ID LONFIFMIL1775600913.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of London 2012's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/london-2012, the number of followers: 1000, the industry type: Spectator Sports and the number of employees: 396 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 739 with a difference of -24 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 London 2012 and their customers.

Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics recently reported "Cybersecurity Risks at Major Global Sporting Events: Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

High-profile international sporting events like the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup have become prime targets for cyber threats, driven by geopolitical tensions, hacktivism, and financially motivated cybercrime.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Wi-Fi, Ticketing systems and Broadcast systems.

In response, teams activated the incident response plan, and stakeholders are being briefed through Rapid, transparent communication to maintain trust.

The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as Successful mitigation requires layered defenses, well-tested playbooks, cross-agency coordination, and continuous testing (e.g., tabletop exercises, red/blue team drills). Proactive security measures and resilient incident response strategies are critical for large-scale events, and recommending next steps like Implement layered defenses and cross-agency coordination, Conduct regular tabletop exercises and simulations and Monitor third-party risks (vendors, sponsors, streaming services).

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%), with evidence including attack surface for adversaries seeking disruption, and olympic-related websites targeted, Supply Chain Compromise (T1195) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating third-party vendors, sponsors, streaming services expand attack surface, and Phishing (T1566) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating phishing listed as a key threat type for events. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating malware (Olympic Destroyer) disrupted Wi-Fi, ticketing, broadcast systems and User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating credential harvesting and social engineering risks. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating wi-Fi and ticketing systems targeted for disruption. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating credential harvesting listed as a key threat type. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating third-party vendors and sponsors as weak links and Endpoint Denial of Service (T1499) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating 180% spike in DDoS attacks during Winter Games (Netscope). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force (T1110) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating credential harvesting listed as a key threat type and Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating social engineering risks for executives and attendees. Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified Account Discovery (T1087) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating executive targeting for identity theft and social engineering. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Information Repositories (T1213) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating potential risk to executives and attendees PII. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware listed as a key threat type, Defacement (T1491) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating hacktivism-driven political statements as motivation, and Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating disruption of ticketing and broadcast systems. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol (T1071) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating dDoS attacks and malware (Olympic Destroyer) imply C2 channels. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating identity theft risk for executives and attendees. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
