Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the SODIC breach identified under incident ID SOD1779776631.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of SODIC's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sodic, the number of followers: 298367, the industry type: Real Estate and the number of employees: 1672 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 770 and after the incident was 680 with a difference of -90 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 SODIC and their customers.
On 01 February 2026, SODIC disclosed Ransomware issues under the banner "New Payload Ransomware Emerges with Advanced Encryption and Anti-Forensics Tactics".
A sophisticated new Windows ransomware strain, Payload, has surfaced in early 2026, employing a potent combination of ChaCha20 stream encryption and Curve25519 ECDH key exchange to render victim data irrecoverable without the attackers’ private key.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Windows systems, and exposing Yes.
In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Tor-based negotiation and leak sites.
The case underscores how Ongoing.
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 Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating initial access broker details not provided and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating unknown (initial access broker details not provided). Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating 14 command-line flags for customization (SIMD, thread control) and Native API (T1106) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating employs direct NT APIs for parallel file encryption. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Browser Extensions (T1176) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating no evidence, but implied via Tor-based negotiation sites. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Process Injection (T1055) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating terminating critical processes and services. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating eTW patching, VSS deletion, event log wiping, Indicator Removal: Clear Windows Event Logs (T1070.001) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating event log wiping to evade detection, Data Destruction (T1485) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating vSS deletion to hinder recovery efforts, and Masquerading (T1036) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating single-instance execution via mutex MakeAmericaGreatAgain. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified OS Credential Dumping (T1003) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating process termination may imply credential access. Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified File and Directory Discovery (T1083) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating parallel file encryption implies file discovery and Process Discovery (T1057) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating terminating critical processes and services. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating stealing data before encryption (double-extortion model). Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols (T1071.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating tor-based negotiation and leak sites. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltration via Tor-based leak sites. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with high confidence (100%), supported by evidence indicating chaCha20 + Curve25519 ECDH encryption, unique key per file, Inhibit System Recovery (T1490) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating vSS deletion, process termination, event log wiping, and Service Stop (T1489) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating terminating critical processes and services. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
