In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Precision Imaging Centers breach identified under incident ID PRE3003030111125.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Precision Imaging Centers's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/precisionimagingcenters, the number of followers: 1344, the industry type: Hospitals and Health Care and the number of employees: 132 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 762 and after the incident was 698 with a difference of -64 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 Precision Imaging Centers and their customers.

The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing Names, Addresses and Social Security numbers.

In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Written notifications sent to affected individuals on or around June 22, 2023; public substitute notices for undeliverable mail.

The case underscores how Settled (class action lawsuit resolved), with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Notifications sent to affected individuals; settlement claims process established.

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.

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 Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating unauthorized actor gained access to its network (no explicit vector, but implies credential misuse). Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with high confidence (95%), supported by evidence indicating compromised information included names, SSNs, driver’s license numbers, PHI. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol (T1048) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including unauthorized actor ... exfiltrated sensitive patient data, and data acquired by unauthorized actor (data_breach.exfiltration). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (5%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware such as null (excluded; no evidence of encryption, but included for completeness) and Resource Hijacking (T1496) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating risking long-term reputational and financial harm to affected individuals (misuse of PII/PHI). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
