In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the The Shadowserver Foundation breach identified under incident ID THE1766992985.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of The Shadowserver Foundation's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-shadowserver-foundation, the number of followers: 9767, the industry type: Computer and Network Security and the number of employees: 22 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 749 and after the incident was 731 with a difference of -18 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 The Shadowserver Foundation and their customers.

A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "BADBOX 2.0 Malware Campaign", has drawn attention.

Malicious software downloaded by vulnerable devices during the setup process facilitates infection with BADBOX 2.0, which then executes commands enabling residential proxy networks, credential stuffing intrusions, and ad fraud.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Over 1 million internet-exposed home devices.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like device isolation and restricted internet access, and began remediation that includes evaluating network activity, downloading apps only from official stores and regularly updating devices, and stakeholders are being briefed through FBI advisory.

The case underscores how and recommending next steps like Evaluate network activity, Download apps only from official stores and Regularly update devices, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering FBI advisory on mitigation and compromise indicators.

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 moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating malicious software downloaded by vulnerable devices during the setup process and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating over 1 million internet-exposed home devices compromised. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Pre-OS Boot: Bootkit (T1542.003) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating malware downloaded during device setup facilitates infection with BADBOX 2.0. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Proxy: External Proxy (T1090.002) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating enables attackers to establish residential proxy networks. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force: Password Spraying (T1110.003) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating conduct credential stuffing attacks. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Resource Hijacking (T1496) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating execute ad fraud using compromised devices. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools (T1562.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating deactivated Google Play Protect settings on compromised devices and Masquerading: Match Legitimate Name or Location (T1036.005) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating nezha RAT blends with legitimate activity to evade detection. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating data exfiltration mentioned as a motivation. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
