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 787 and after the incident was 787 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 Microsoft AI and their customers.
On 02 December 2024, OpenAI disclosed Data Breach issues under the banner "OpenAI Data Breach".
OpenAI is acknowledging a data breach after attackers compromised its systems.
Impact assessments are still underway, so the full scope is not yet clear.
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.
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 openAI is acknowledging a data breach after attackers compromised its systems and Valid Accounts (T1078) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating attackers compromised its systems (implied unauthorized access). Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating data breach (implies data exfiltration). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Brute Force (T1110) with moderate confidence (50%), supported by evidence indicating attackers compromised its systems (possible credential access). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
