Tata Motors Breach Incident Score: Analysis & Impact (TAT0662106111725)

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Tata Motors breach identified under incident ID TAT0662106111725.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Tata Motors's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/taj-hotels, the number of followers: 5848121, the industry type: Motor Vehicle Manufacturing and the number of employees: 72259 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 816 and after the incident was 816 with a difference of 0 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 Tata Motors and their customers.

Tata Motors (Jaguar Land Rover) recently reported "Cyberattack on Tata Motors (Jaguar Land Rover) Disrupts UK Production", a noteworthy cybersecurity incident.

Tata Motors, owner of Jaguar Land Rover, revealed a cyberattack that shut down production in the UK, costing the company approximately £1.8 billion ($2.35 billion).

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Production systems (UK), plus an estimated financial loss of £1.8 billion ($2.35 billion) (total); £196 million ($258 million) (direct exceptional costs).

In response, and stakeholders are being briefed through Public disclosure in quarterly results; CFO statement acknowledging impact.

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.

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 Impact tactic, the analysis identified Endpoint Denial of Service: Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including production shutdown in the UK due to cyberattack, and shut down production in the UK with £1.8B ($2.35B) total losses and Network Denial of Service (T1498) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating shut down production in the UK implies network/system disruption. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating cyberattack targeting production systems (common vector for OT/IT convergence) and Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (65%), supported by evidence indicating no explicit evidence, but common in high-impact manufacturing attacks (e.g., compromised credentials). Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Remote Services: Remote Desktop Protocol (T1021.001) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating production system disruption suggests internal movement (common in OT attacks). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
