Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Trend Micro breach identified under incident ID STATRE1773844405.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Trend Micro's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trend-micro, the number of followers: 301417, the industry type: Software Development and the number of employees: 7898 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 768 and after the incident was 752 with a difference of -16 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 Trend Micro and their customers.

On 06 March 2024, a cybersecurity incident called "Ransomware Attacks Disproportionately Target Windows Systems" came to light.

A recent analysis by Trend Micro highlights the persistent dominance of Windows operating systems as the primary target for ransomware attacks worldwide between 2019 and 2023.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Windows systems.

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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating windows systems accounted for vast majority of ransomware detections and User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating windows’ widespread enterprise and consumer adoption. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified User Execution: Malicious File (T1204.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating windows systems as primary target for ransomware attacks. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware attacks disproportionately target Windows systems. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with lower confidence (40%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware trends across operating systems (implied data exfiltration). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
