UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office Breach Incident Score: Analysis & Impact (UN-1765231768)

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office breach identified under incident ID UN-1765231768.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/un-multi-partner-trust-fund-office, the number of followers: 1089, the industry type: Non-profit Organizations and the number of employees: 8 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 760 and after the incident was 457 with a difference of -303 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 UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office and their customers.

A newly reported cybersecurity incident, "Global Ransomware Surge and Decline (2022-2024)", has drawn attention.

A report by FinCEN documents 4,194 ransomware incidents between January 2022 and December 2024, with over $2.1 billion in ransom payments.

The disruption is felt across the environment, plus an estimated financial loss of $4.5 billion (2013-2024).

Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.

The case underscores how Ongoing, teams are taking away lessons such as Law enforcement actions targeting ransomware gangs can significantly reduce ransomware activity and payments, and recommending next steps like Organizations should enhance cybersecurity measures, report incidents to authorities, and avoid paying ransoms to disrupt the ransomware economy.

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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating proliferation of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) models and Supply Chain Compromise (T1195) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating exploitation of vulnerabilities (implied in root causes). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including data encryption such as Yes, and ransomware strain such as ALPHV/BlackCat, LockBit. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol (T1048) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware gangs often exfiltrate data (implied). Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol (T1071) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating raaS models require C2 for ransomware deployment. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Obfuscated Files or Information (T1027) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware strains use obfuscation to evade detection and Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion (T1497) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating advanced ransomware strains evade analysis environments. These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
