Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the moveIT Software breach identified under incident ID MOVBRIMGM1770602315.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of moveIT Software's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/moveit-software, the number of followers: 94, the industry type: Software Development and the number of employees: 27 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 751 and after the incident was 736 with a difference of -15 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 moveIT Software and their customers.
British Airways recently reported "2023: A Record-Breaking Year for Ransomware as Attacks Surge Past $1 Billion in Extorted Payments", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.
2023 marked a dramatic resurgence in ransomware activity, with cybercriminals extorting over $1 billion in cryptocurrency payments—the highest annual total on record.
The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing Millions of records, with nearly Millions records at risk, plus an estimated financial loss of > $1 billion (ransom payments alone).
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
The case underscores how Ongoing (some groups disrupted, others active), teams are taking away lessons such as Ransomware actors are highly adaptable, exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, supply chain attacks, and RaaS models to maximize profits. Law enforcement disruptions can significantly reduce ransom payments, but the threat remains persistent and evolving, and recommending next steps like Enhance supply chain security, Improve zero-day vulnerability patching and Strengthen law enforcement collaboration.
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 Supply Chain Compromise (T1195) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating mOVEit file transfer software breach, exploited by Cl0p ransomware group and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit file transfer software. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating zero-day vulnerability exploited to execute ransomware and User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) models enabling execution. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating supply chain attack on MOVEit file transfer software. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit exploited for access. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Obfuscated Files or Information (T1027) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware groups rebranding to evade law enforcement and Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion (T1497) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating raaS models enabling sophisticated evasion tactics. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating supply chain attack on MOVEit may involve credential interception. Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified Account Discovery (T1087) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating high-value targets like British Airways, BBC, U.S. government agencies. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating cl0p shifted to data exfiltration over encryption and Data from Cloud Storage (T1530) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating millions of records exposed via MOVEit breach. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltration as primary tactic for Cl0p and Exfiltration Over Web Service (T1567) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating millions of records compromised in MOVEit breach. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware strains like ALPHV-BlackCat encrypting data, Data Destruction (T1485) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware attacks causing significant operational impact, and Defacement (T1491) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating high-profile attacks on British Airways, BBC, MGM Resorts. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
