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 743 and after the incident was 655 with a difference of -88 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 SORBONNE VENTURE and their customers.

Sorbonne Université recently reported "Sorbonne Université Employee Data Compromise", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

Paris-based Sorbonne Université had its employees' data purportedly compromised following a cybersecurity incident.

The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing 32,000 employee entries, including full names, job positions, departments, email addresses, contract types, salaries, ZIP codes, internal codes, bank account numbers, digital payslips, salary transfer details, Social Security numbers, sick leave documents, CVs, diplomas, cover letters, employee listings, internal directories, and assignment tables, with nearly 32,000 records at risk.

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 Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating employee data purportedly compromised following a cybersecurity incident and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating cybersecurity incident with no specified attack vector. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Credentials In Files (T1552.005) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating digital payslips, salary transfer details, CVs, diplomas, and cover letters stolen. Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Data from Information Repositories (T1213) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating employee listings, internal directories, and assignment tables compromised and Data from Local System (T1005) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating 32,000 employee entries including full names, job positions, and salaries. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating data sample shared by attackers; alleged data exfiltration and Transfer Data to Cloud Account (T1537) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating threat actors shared data sample; no specific exfil method disclosed. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with lower confidence (30%), supported by evidence indicating no evidence of ransomware or data encryption in incident details and Data Manipulation: Stored Data Manipulation (T1565.001) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating high risk for financial fraud and identity theft noted by researchers. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
