cyberstrikeus T1641 Data Manipulation
High-Level Description
Adversaries may insert, delete, or alter data in order to manipulate external outcomes or hide activity. By manipulating data, adversaries may attempt to affect a business process, organizational understanding, or decision making.
The type of modification and the impact it will have depends on the target application, process, and the goals and objectives of the adversary. For complex systems, an adversary would likely need special expertise and possibly access to specialized software related to the system, typically gained through a prolonged information gathering campaign, in order to have the desired impact.
Kill Chain Phase
- Impact (TA0034)
Platforms: Android
What to Check
- Identify if Data Manipulation technique is applicable to target mobile environment
- Check Android devices for indicators of Data Manipulation
- Verify mitigations are bypassed or absent (1 known mitigations)
- Assess detection coverage (1 detection strategies)
How to Test
Identify Attack Surface
Determine if the target mobile environment is susceptible to Data Manipulation by examining the target platforms (Android).
Assess Existing Defenses
Review whether mitigations for T1641 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.
