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 Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate to high confidence (70%), with evidence including breaches at nine unnamed companies, and unauthorized data access and Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating breaches at affected firms came to light. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials (T1552) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating unauthorized access to 64 million records.
