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 (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating unauthorized person gained access to MDC’s network, Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating cybersecurity incident impacting personal information, and External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating access to MDC’s network by unauthorized person. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force (T1110) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating unauthorized access to network suggests credential compromise and Unsecured Credentials (T1552) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating access to PII/PHI implies possible credential misuse. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating may have acquired records containing PII and PHI and Automated Exfiltration (T1020) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating data breach involving 40,000+ records. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating cybersecurity incident with high sensitivity data and Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating unauthorized access to prescription information. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
