Containment gap confirmed: srv-ad-01 compromised a third time

TORA — Shift 14 in Review

Shift 14 ran July 6–10 against a corp.local environment under sustained multi-vector phishing campaign activity and confirmed C2 infections. Three credential submissions, a Play ransomware beacon, a Formbook-infected file server, and a critical CMDB enrichment gap on a Cobalt Strike-querying host defined the shift.

VERA — Shift 14 in Review

Shift 14 investigated 20 escalated cases across a coordinated, multi-vector intrusion campaign targeting corp.local — every case was escalated to ARIA at immediate urgency, with 19 confirmed and one probable root cause, active C2 confirmed on multiple assets, and lateral movement reaching at least three domain controllers.
