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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating network security incident that impacted its IT systems and Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating iT systems impacted, possible unauthorized access. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials (T1552) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating pII and PHI compromised, possible credential exposure. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating pII and PHI compromised, 40,051 records exposed and Automated Exfiltration (T1020) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating large-scale data exposure (40,051 records). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating network security incident, possible ransomware (not confirmed) and Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating iT systems impacted, potential data tampering. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
