Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the SolarWinds breach identified under incident ID ZCAMIRGOOSOLCISTHE1780914449.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of SolarWinds's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/solarwinds, the number of followers: 294900, the industry type: Software Development and the number of employees: 2823 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 627 and after the incident was 620 with a difference of -7 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 SolarWinds and their customers.

DentaQuest recently reported "Cybersecurity Roundup: Critical Flaws, Espionage Campaigns, and Major Breaches", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

Recent weeks have seen a surge in high-profile cybersecurity incidents, from long-standing vulnerabilities to sophisticated espionage operations and large-scale data breaches.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Android, Linux Kernel and SolarWinds Serv-U, and exposing 2.6 million individuals' data (DentaQuest) and 20,000 Instagram accounts, with nearly ['2.6 million (DentaQuest)', '20,000 (Instagram)'] records at risk.

In response, and began remediation that includes Patches for vulnerabilities and Disruption of botnet infrastructure.

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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including mirasvit Full Page Cache Warmer flaw actively exploited, and cisco Unified CM bug with public exploit code, Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating solarWinds Serv-U flaw adds to supply chain attack history, Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment (T1566.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating stock exchange executives Outlook account breached via phishing, and Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating winRAR vulnerability exploited in modular spy campaign. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating winRAR vulnerability exploited for spy campaign execution and User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating malware infection of officials phones via malicious files. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating solarWinds Serv-U flaw enables persistent access. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating android and Linux Kernel vulnerabilities pose privilege escalation risks. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Hide Artifacts: Hidden Window (T1564.003) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating silent Ransom Group uses DNS fast flux to evade detection and Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating outlook account compromise via phishing implies valid account abuse. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating meta AI recovery tool flaw compromised 20,000 Instagram accounts and Brute Force: Password Guessing (T1110.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating implied in Instagram account compromises via recovery tool flaw. Under the Discovery tactic, the analysis identified Account Discovery: Domain Account (T1087.002) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating high-value phishing targets (stock exchange executive) imply account discovery. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Local System (T1005) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating 2.6 million individuals data compromised in DentaQuest breach and Email Collection: Remote Email Collection (T1114.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating outlook account breach for espionage implies email collection. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: DNS (T1071.004) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating silent Ransom Group shifted to DNS fast flux infrastructure. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating shinyHunters leaked 2.6M records, Silent Ransom Group exfiltrated data and Exfiltration Over Web Service: Exfiltration to Cloud Storage (T1567.002) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating data sold on dark web implies exfiltration to cloud/storage. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Destruction (T1485) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating ioT botnet C0XMO evolved to include competitor-killing capabilities and Defacement: Internal Defacement (T1491.001) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating potential impact of supply chain attacks on internal systems. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
