Analysis Summary
# Incident Report: Anubis Ransomware Extortion against Disneyland Paris
## Executive Summary
Disneyland Paris was targeted by the Anubis Ransomware group, resulting in a confirmed data breach involving 64GB of sensitive files. The attackers listed the organization on their dark web site, leaking engineering documents and attraction plans. Specific response details are not provided, but the scope involves a significant loss of intellectual property and operational data due to confirmed exfiltration.
## Incident Details
- Discovery Date: Not explicitly stated (Implied around June 20, 2025, when the leak was reported)
- Incident Date: Not explicitly stated (Date of compromise unknown)
- Affected Organization: Disneyland Paris
- Sector: Tourism/Entertainment
- Geography: France (Paris)
## Timeline of Events
### Initial Access
- Date/Time: Unknown
- Vector: Not explicitly stated (Implied through a typical ransomware path ending in data deployment)
- Details: N/A
### Lateral Movement
- Details: Unknown. Attackers successfully navigated the network to locate and collect valuable data, including engineering files and attraction plans.
### Data Exfiltration/Impact
- Details: Exfiltration of approximately 64GB of data, consisting of engineering files and attraction plans, confirmed by the Anubis group listing the data on their dark web site.
### Detection & Response
- Details: The breach was detected when the Anubis group publicly listed the data on their dark web site. Response actions are not detailed in the provided source material.
## Attack Methodology
- Initial Access: Unknown
- Persistence: Unknown
- Privilege Escalation: Unknown
- Defense Evasion: Unknown
- Credential Access: Unknown
- Discovery: Unknown (Successful data identification suggests internal network reconnaissance occurred)
- Lateral Movement: Applied (To access restricted files like attraction plans)
- Collection: 64GB of engineering files and attraction plans secured.
- Exfiltration: Data was exfiltrated and subsequently posted on the Anubis dark web site.
- Impact: Data extortion/leakage.
## Impact Assessment
- Financial: Not available.
- Data Breach: 64GB of data leaked, including sensitive engineering files and attraction plans (Intellectual Property).
- Operational: Potential operational disruption, though not explicitly confirmed by service outages.
- Reputational: High potential for reputational harm due to the public exposure of core operational/design documentation.
## Indicators of Compromise
- Network indicators: N/A (Dark web listing reference to Anubis Ransomware operations)
- File indicators: N/A (Specific file hashes not provided)
- Behavioral indicators: N/A
## Response Actions
- Containment measures: Unknown
- Eradication steps: Unknown
- Recovery actions: Unknown
## Lessons Learned
- The organization's data, including sensitive engineering documentation, was accessible and exfiltrated by ransomware operators.
- Public listing confirms the success of the data theft component of the attack.
## Recommendations
- Immediately assume all potentially compromised systems are fully compromised (TTPs used by Anubis).
- Conduct a full forensic investigation to determine the initial access vector and full extent of lateral movement.
- Review and enhance controls protecting sensitive IP and engineering diagram repositories.
- Implement robust data loss prevention (DLP) monitoring for large outbound transfers.
