Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Philippine Statistics Authority breach identified under incident ID PHI1783578528.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Philippine Statistics Authority's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/philippinestatisticsauthority, the number of followers: 12764, the industry type: Government Administration and the number of employees: 7856 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 772 and after the incident was 747 with a difference of -25 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 Philippine Statistics Authority and their customers.

Filipino ICT Users recently reported "62.5% of Filipino ICT Users Hit by Cybersecurity Incidents in 2024", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

A recent report from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reveals that 62.5% of Filipinos aged 10 and older (approximately 24.28 million out of 38.86 million users) experienced at least one cybersecurity incident in 2024.

Impact assessments are still underway, so the full scope is not yet clear.

Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.

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 Phishing (T1566) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including phishing (6.1%), and sMS fraud emerged as the most prevalent threat, affecting 57.1% of victims, Phishing: Spearphishing Link (T1566.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating sMS fraud affecting 57.1% of victims, and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating hacking (7.8%). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Modify Authentication Process (T1556) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating sMS fraud (57.1%) may involve credential harvesting and Brute Force (T1110) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating hacking (7.8%). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Destruction (T1485) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating cyberbullying or cyber libel (1.1%) and Defacement (T1491) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating cyber libel (1.1%). Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating aI-powered detection systems leveraged to combat fraudulent content. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating 159 million scam ads removed globally in 2025 (implies data exfiltration). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
