The case underscores how teams are taking away lessons such as Significant risks associated with third-party vendor breaches, where a contractor's security lapse can lead to the compromise of a larger entity's sensitive data. Highlights the increasing value of infrastructure-related data for cybercriminals.

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 Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including third-party vendor breach, and exploiting a breach at Quasar Inc.. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including data exfiltration such as Yes, and claims to have exfiltrated network project documents and Transfer Data to Cloud Account (T1537) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including posted claims on a dark web leak site, and timer set for public release or sale. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with moderate to high confidence (80%), with evidence including phobos (Ransomware-as-a-Service), and type such as Ransomware and Data Destruction (T1485) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating threatening public release or sale of sensitive data. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
