Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Mighty Kingdom breach identified under incident ID MIG1787106423.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Mighty Kingdom's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mighty-kingdom, the number of followers: 7117, the industry type: Computer Games and the number of employees: 21 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 748 and after the incident was 597 with a difference of -151 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 Mighty Kingdom and their customers.
On 17 August 2025, Mighty Kingdom disclosed Ransomware issues under the banner "Mighty Kingdom Hit by Direwolf Ransomware Attack".
Adelaide-based game developer Mighty Kingdom has been listed as a victim of the Direwolf ransomware group, which claims to have exfiltrated over 260 code repositories on August 17.
The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing Over 260 code repositories, including source code for licensed IPs (Barbie, Conan Chop Chop, Peter Rabbit) and original IPs, rapid prototypes, and internal projects, with nearly 260+ code repositories records at risk.
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
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.
