In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Notices sent to affected individuals; class action settlement terms communicated.

The case underscores how Resolved via settlement (final approval hearing scheduled for Feb. 19, 2026), with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Notices sent to affected individuals; settlement terms published.

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.

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 Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including compromised Microsoft Office 365 business email accounts, and unauthorized third party accessed its Microsoft Office 365 business email accounts. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Email Collection (T1114) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including accessed its Microsoft Office 365 business email accounts, and personal and protected health information (PHI) of thousands of patients. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over Web Service: Exfiltration to Cloud Storage (T1048.002) with moderate to high confidence (85%), with evidence including data exfiltration such as Likely (accessed email accounts), and unauthorized third party accessed its Microsoft Office 365 business email accounts. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (10%), supported by evidence indicating no evidence of data destruction, but PHI exposure leads to identity theft risk, Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (5%), supported by evidence indicating no ransomware mentioned; excluded due to lack of evidence, and Data Theft for Extortion (T1659) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including $3.5 million settlement due to PHI exposure and class-action lawsuit, and identity theft risk such as High (personal and PHI exposed). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials: Credentials In Files (T1552.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including alleged failure to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect email accounts, and entry point such as Microsoft Office 365 business email accounts and Credentials from Password Stores: Credentials from Web Browsers (T1555.003) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating no direct evidence, but cloud email compromise often involves credential theft. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating no direct evidence, but lack of detection suggests possible defense impairment and Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with high confidence (95%), supported by evidence indicating reused from Initial Access due to persistent access via legitimate cloud accounts. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
