Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Orange City Water - Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) breach identified under incident ID ORA1774722280.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Orange City Water - Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC)'s information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/orange-city-water-nagpur-municipal-corporation-nmc, the number of followers: 0, the industry type: Utilities and the number of employees: 151 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 824 and after the incident was 814 with a difference of -10 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 Orange City Water - Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and their customers.

On 28 October 2023, Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) disclosed Cyberattack (Reconnaissance Campaign) issues under the banner "Nagpur Municipal Corporation Targeted in Massive Cyberattack".

On October 28, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) faced a coordinated cyberattack, with over 2,000 intrusion attempts detected within 24 hours.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Web servers, Property tax payment systems and Water bill processing systems, and exposing Sensitive data including property records, tax receipts, employee information, and internal communications at risk.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Intrusion prevention system blocked attacks, and began remediation that includes Planned comprehensive IT security audit.

The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as Growing cyber threats to public-sector digital infrastructure, where poorly secured systems risk severe operational and data security consequences, and recommending next steps like Comprehensive IT security audit, Timely patching of vulnerabilities and Strengthening monitoring mechanisms.

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.
