Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Nord Security breach identified under incident ID NOR1767632574.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Nord Security's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nordsecurity, the number of followers: 78247, the industry type: Computer and Network Security and the number of employees: 1813 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 730 and after the incident was 667 with a difference of -63 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 Nord Security and their customers.

NordVPN recently reported "NordVPN Development Server Alleged Breach by Hacker 1011", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

A hacker using the alias 1011 claimed to breach a NordVPN development server, posting database dumps and configuration samples on BreachForums.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Isolated test environment (not production), and exposing Salesforce API keys, Jira tokens, source code from over ten databases (dummy content).

In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Public blog post denying breach and clarifying the nature of the leaked data.

The case underscores how Ongoing, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering No customer action needed.

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 to high confidence (70%), with evidence including brute-forcing a misconfigured system, and misconfigured system (vulnerability exploited) and External Remote Services (T1133) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating access gained to a development server (implied remote access). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force (T1110) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating brute-forcing a misconfigured system (attack vector) and Unsecured Credentials: Credentials In Files (T1552.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating salesforce API keys, Jira tokens (data compromised). Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Cloud Storage (T1530) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating salesforce API keys, source code from over ten databases. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over Web Service (T1567) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating posted purported database dumps on BreachForums. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating misconfigured system (implied weak defenses). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
