Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Nextgen Energy Engineering (NEE) breach identified under incident ID NEEINV1784355899.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Nextgen Energy Engineering (NEE)'s information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nee-nextgen-energy-engineering, the number of followers: 158, the industry type: Services for Renewable Energy and the number of employees: 3 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 749 and after the incident was 732 with a difference of -17 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 Nextgen Energy Engineering (NEE) and their customers.

On 13 July 2024, Poland’s power grid disclosed Cyber Espionage, Disruption of Critical Infrastructure, Hybrid Warfare issues under the banner "EU and UK Impose Joint Sanctions on Russia Over Cyberattacks Targeting Europe".

The European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) announced coordinated sanctions against 15 individuals and one entity linked to cyberattacks and human rights violations against Ukraine.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Poland’s power grid.

In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Summoning Russian diplomats in protest.

Overall, the incident is a reminder of why proactive monitoring and strong governance matter.

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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating cyberattacks against multiple European nations...disrupting critical infrastructure and Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating hybrid warfare tactics, combining cyber operations with other forms of sabotage. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating failed cyberattack on Poland’s power grid attributed to the FSB’s Centre 16. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating fSB intelligence agency, GRU military intelligence officers...state-backed cybercriminals. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating disrupting critical infrastructure...potential electricity outage for 500,000 citizens. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Masquerading (T1036) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating fSB’s Centre 16 has long been accused of deploying malware for global espionage and Hide Artifacts: Hidden Window (T1564.003) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating years-long campaign of cyberattacks...stealing intelligence or disrupting critical infrastructure. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force (T1110) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating gRU military intelligence officers...orchestrating cyberattacks and Unsecured Credentials: Credentials In Files (T1552.001) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating intelligence theft as a motivation for cyberattacks. Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified File and Directory Discovery (T1083) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating stealing intelligence...disrupting critical infrastructure. Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation of Remote Services (T1210) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating cyberattacks against multiple European nations, including Poland’s power grid. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Endpoint Denial of Service: OS Exhaustion Flood (T1499.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating failed cyberattack on Poland’s power grid could have left 500,000 citizens without electricity and Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating disruption of critical infrastructure as a motivation. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
