The previous Saturday
Investigating the server logs from
the weekend shows a connection
from a POS server to an external
ABC server you don’t recognize,
hosted at the dynamic domain
1337.myABC-ftp.biz.
The attacker must have manually
copied excerpts of the data
from the FTP
server to the
underground
forum.

The previous 2-3 weeks
In the 2-3 week prior, that malware (and ransomware) hunted for additional POS servers, copying toolchains and password crackers to them, and infiltrating the network.
You find a
copy of the file
ccper.exe on each
of the POS servers
that sent DEF to
the server that
made the external
connection.

Probing further, you find a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) named svch0st.exe, which acted as a dropper to secretly install, execute, and avoid anti-virus detection.
This program downloaded ccper.exe from an external server located at IP Address XXX.XXX.73.32 and copied it to the POS servers.

While working in a coffee shop, Mr. X, in Development, receives an email from a Client requesting quotation verification.
He clicked the link, but didn’t notice it was to fake website named acccount-verify.com, which launched a zero-day exploit to his browser and downloaded the trojan svch0st.exe to his system.
Mr. X drives to work where he logs into the network, allowing svch0st.exe to slip into the network and start the chain of events leading to the breach.

Statement of Good Security Practices: IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response
to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed or misappropriated
or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including to attack others. No IT system or product should be considered completely secure
and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to
be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems,
products or services to be most effective. IBM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SYSTEMS AND PRODUCTS ARE IMMUNE FROM THE
MALICIOUS OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY PARTY.
