## Infrastructure

### Servers

| Hostname | IP | OS | Role | Hardware | Notes |
|----------|----|----|------|----------|-------|
| SERVER (asset: SERVER2021) | 10.0.0.5 | Windows Server 2025 Standard **EVALUATION** | Primary DC, DNS, File Server, Print Server | HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen11, Intel Xeon E-2414 (4 cores), 80 GB RAM | [WARNING] EVALUATION license — expires 180 days from install. Shuts down hourly after expiry. Check: `slmgr /dlv` |

**[WARNING] NO BACKUP EXISTS.** No Windows Server Backup, no third-party agent, no cloud backup. SERVER is the only DC; failure = loss of AD, DNS, file shares, and QuickBooks data permanently.

**SERVER storage:**

| Drive | Label | Size | Notes |
|-------|-------|------|-------|
| C: | OS | ~11 TB | Primary volume (NTFS) |
| Secondary | Server2 2022_03_31 | ~2 TB | Purpose unknown — possibly old server backup/migration data |

### Workstations

| AD Name | OS | Notes |
|---------|----|-------|
| FRONTDESK | Windows 11 Pro | Syncro asset id 11122225 |
| ACCOUNTING | Windows 11 Pro for Workstations | `accountant` role account |
| CHRISTINE-WIN10 | Windows 11 Pro | Legacy name; actually Win11 |
| DESKTOP-2560Q7R | Windows 11 Pro | Was Wrex — now Joshua Sutherland; needs rename |

| DESKTOP-R0KA2UG | Windows 11 Pro | User unknown — needs onsite correlation + rename |
| DESKTOP-9B2SMD9 | Windows 11 Pro | User unknown — needs onsite correlation + rename |

### Active Directory

- **Domain:** kittle.lan (NetBIOS: KITTLE)
- **Domain Admins:** Administrator, sysadmin (ACG)
- **Total domain users:** 12 (including joshua.sutherland added 2026-05-08)
- **Total workstations:** 7

**[WARNING]** Role-based AD accounts (`accountant`, `frontdesk`) should be replaced with individual named accounts.
**[WARNING]** Three workstations (WINDOWS-QV1B0EL, DESKTOP-R0KA2UG, DESKTOP-9B2SMD9) user-to-machine mapping unconfirmed.

### Installed Software (SERVER)

| Software | Notes |
|----------|-------|
| QuickBooks Pro 2024 (v34) | [WARNING] Should NOT be on a DC — migrate to ACCOUNTING workstation; data at C:\Shares\Home\QBooks |
| ScreenConnect | Remote access agent |

**ScreenConnect note:** Command runner defaults to `cmd` context — PowerShell scripts MUST be prefixed with `#!ps` or they fail silently.

### Network

- **Subnet:** Single flat 10.0.0.0/24 — no VLANs, no segmentation
- **Gateway:** 10.0.0.1 (ISP router — consumer-grade, acts as gateway + DHCP + only "firewall")
- **Switch:** UniFi USW-Lite-16-PoE at 10.0.0.122 (MAC: 0C:EA:14:8A:8D:7F); managed by ACG's self-hosted UniFi controller
- **~31 devices** on network (most unidentified)

**[WARNING] NO dedicated firewall.** ISP router is the only perimeter device. No stateful inspection, IDS/IPS, content filtering, or granular rules. Recommendation: Deploy pfSense or commercial UTM (FortiGate, SonicWall).

**DHCP:** [WARNING] Runs on ISP router (10.0.0.1), NOT on SERVER. Windows DHCP role installed on SERVER but has zero scopes. Unknown what DNS server is handed out via DHCP — AD name resolution may be broken for domain clients.

**Internal DNS:** Windows DNS on SERVER (10.0.0.5), AD-integrated. Forwarder: 10.0.0.1 only. No reverse lookup zone. No secondary forwarder.

**External DNS (kittlearizona.com):** Hybrid NSOne + Squarespace nameservers.

### File Shares (SERVER)

| Share | Path | Notes |
|-------|------|-------|
| Home | C:\Shares\Home | User home folders; mapped via HomeFolder GPO |
| QBooks | C:\Shares\Home\QBooks | QuickBooks data files |
| NETLOGON / SYSVOL | (default) | AD logon scripts / Group Policy |

**GPO Note:** HomeFolder GPO drive map MUST stay as `Update` (not `Replace`). Replace tears down and recreates the drive connection every ~90 min GP refresh cycle, killing open Explorer windows.

## BEC / ACH Fraud Incident — June 2026

This section documents the major Business Email Compromise and attempted ACH payment-redirection fraud of June 2026. It is the canonical incident record; detail sources are listed in the frontmatter.

### Incident Summary

A nation-state or organized-crime threat actor compromised Ken Schagel's Microsoft 365 account (entry point: credential theft in or before April 2026) and used it to attempt ACH payment-redirection fraud against two Arizona government agencies — the City of Tucson (invoices totaling $130,000+) and the Town of Marana. **The fraud was PREVENTED; no funds moved.** The FBI IC3 complaint was filed 2026-06-09 (Submission ID: `aa2ef50482ca4c05a54ae0f6cb56ffa0`).

### Root Cause and Entry Point

Ken Schagel's credentials were compromised on or before April 2026. The evidence: an IMAP legacy-auth OAuth consent (app 9b504397) was granted FROM Ken's account object ID (`5fc37e1a`) in April 2026. The **April 2026 remediation session revoked that OAuth consent but did not reset Ken's password or revoke his sessions.** As a result, the attacker retained valid credentials and persisted undetected for approximately two months until the June 2026 breach.

Access method: legacy IMAP/OAuth using Microsoft Desktop app `d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c` with python-httpx/0.28.1, bypassing MFA (Security Defaults only; no Conditional Access; IMAP/POP/EAS enabled on all mailboxes). The original phishing lure that stole Ken's credentials is not forensically recoverable (mailbox dumpster retention does not go back to the infection date).

### Attack Timeline

| Date/Time (UTC) | Event |
|-----------------|-------|
| 2026-04 (approx) | Ken's credentials stolen (proven via IMAP consent granted from Ken's object ID). April remediation revokes consent but does NOT reset password — attacker persists. |
| 2026-04-23 | ACG April breach check: Alexis fully remediated. Ken's "Admin" inbox rule classified [INFO] (not [WARNING]). Incomplete remediation. |
| 2026-06-05 ~11:52 UTC | Attacker inserts `Accounting.kittlearizona@gmx.com` into live Kittle↔City of Tucson invoice thread (thread poisoning, 3 days before main breach). |
| 2026-06-08 09:03 | Normal Outlook sync (Microsoft IPs) — pre-compromise. |
| 2026-06-08 13:24 | **[BREACH START]** Attacker OWA login from 64.44.131.168 (Chicago IL, AS20278 Nexeon Technologies — VPN/hosting). |
| 2026-06-08 13:37 | Ken's T-Mobile phone accesses account legitimately (Ken is unaware of compromise). |
| 2026-06-08 14:51–21:09 | Attacker accesses Accounting@ mailbox as delegate (Ken had FullAccess to Accounting) — 21 MailItemsAccessed events across Inbox\Customers, Assured Partners, Employees, Sent, Deleted. |
| 2026-06-08 15:32 / 16:14 | Attacker sends two "test" emails from OWA. |
| 2026-06-08 15:52 / 16:45 / 18:52 / 20:29 | Attacker sends fraudulent "EFT UPDATE" / ACH banking-change emails from Accounting@ (SendOnBehalf) to Randi Arnett at City of Tucson BSD/AP. Hard-deletes the thread from both Ken@ and Accounting@ after each send to conceal. |
| 2026-06-08 18:36–18:53 | Contact harvest: python-httpx/0.28.1 from Azure IP 40.126.41.96, 250+ MailItemsAccessed events. |
| 2026-06-08 21:14–21:26 | Phishing blast: 1,000 "Ken Schagel shared a file with you" (fake OneDrive lure) sent in 5 batches from 45.134.224.220 (Kansas City MO, AS147049 PacketHub S.A.). 747 delivered, 227 bounced. Phishing link: `flowinnactuators.com/work.html` (credential harvesting). |
| 2026-06-08 ~21:30 | Howard (ACG) receives phishing email — incident detected. |
| 2026-06-08 21:41 | Mike manually blocks Ken's sign-in in Entra portal, sets temp password. |
| 2026-06-08 ~22:00 | ACG investigation and remediation begins. 5 malicious inbox rules deleted. Lori's 10 admin roles stripped. 740 victim-notification emails sent from admin@ via EWS SOAP. |
| 2026-06-09 (morning) | ACG discovers the ACH fraud angle via audit-log + message-trace analysis; recovers deleted fraud emails + the BSD ACH APPLICATION.pdf from Recoverable Items dumpster. |
| 2026-06-09 | Discovery of marco@ compromise: 2 additional hidden inbox rules filtering Marana AP emails and internal accounting/ken emails. Marco had sent fraudulent "Application for Payment" and "EFT Form Update" emails to the Town of Marana AP (delivered ~17:05 UTC 2026-06-09). |
| 2026-06-09 | Kittle (Darline Cabrera) contacts City of Tucson: **City stops the payment — no funds transferred.** Marana also confirms no ACH cleared after a human contact from Kittle. Attacker had also phoned Marana (vishing) to pressure the change. |
| 2026-06-09 12:46 PM EST | FBI IC3 complaint filed. Submission ID: `aa2ef50482ca4c05a54ae0f6cb56ffa0`. |
| 2026-06-09 | Conditional Access deployed (Security Defaults disabled, CA enforced). Entra P2 added. |
| 2026-06-09 | Ken's password reset in person on-site by Mike. |

### Targeted Payers and Financial Exposure

**City of Tucson (BSD/AP):**
- Contact in fraud thread: Randi Arnett (Finance Manager, Randi.Arnett@tucsonaz.gov); AP: HCDAccountsPayable-Finance@tucsonaz.gov

- Attacker also phoned Marana (vishing from phone 659-221-9243) to pressure the bank change
- **OUTCOME: Fraud prevented. No ACH cleared.**

**Mule (fraudulent receiving) accounts:**
| Bank | Routing | Account | Name |

### Malicious Artifacts Removed

**Inbox rules (6/8 — 5 rules across 3 mailboxes):**
| Mailbox | Rule Name | Action | Discovered |
|---------|-----------|--------|------------|
| Ken@kittlearizona.com | "." | Move ALL mail → RSS Feeds, MarkAsRead, StopProcessing | 2026-06-08 |
| Ken@kittlearizona.com | "Admin" | Move ALL mail → RSS Feeds, MarkAsRead, StopProcessing | 2026-06-08 |
| alexis@kittlearizona.com | "..." | Move ALL mail → RSS Feeds, MarkAsRead, StopProcessing | 2026-06-08 |
| Accounting@kittlearizona.com | ".." | Move mail FROM Ken → RSS Feeds (Priority 1) | 2026-06-08 — suppressing ALL inbound at discovery |
| Accounting@kittlearizona.com | "..." | Move ALL mail → RSS Feeds (Priority 2) | 2026-06-08 — suppressing ALL inbound at discovery |

**Inbox rules (6/9 — 2 more on marco@):**
| Mailbox | Action | Subject filter |
|---------|--------|----------------|
| marco@kittlearizona.com | Move to RSS Feeds, MarkAsRead, StopProcessing | "EFT Form Update" / "KDC - Application for Payment #1 Job No. 5654.25" / sender @maranaaz.gov |
| marco@kittlearizona.com | Move to RSS Feeds, MarkAsRead, StopProcessing | Internal: accounting@, ken@ |

**Pre-existing April rule (not attacker-planted — confirmed 2026-06-08):**
- Ken "Christina Micek" rule — StopProcessingRules:true, no action/filter. Confirmed benign by Mike (2026-06-08 full sweep).

**OAuth grants revoked on alexis@ (2026-06-08):**
- PERFECTDATA app — Mail.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite (immediately revoked — clearly malicious)
- Alignable app — offline_access, User.Read, Contacts.Read (revoked at Mike's direction)

**April OAuth revocations (pre-incident, 2026-04-23):**
- c5df10ae AllPrincipals app — 7 grants deleted including Directory.ReadWrite.All, RoleManagement, Mail.Send, 50+ scopes
- IMAP legacy auth app 9b504397 — IMAP.AccessAsUser.All (consented by Ken's account object; password NOT reset at the time — root cause of persistence)

**Privilege excess corrected:**
- Lori Schagel: 10 pre-existing admin roles (including Global Administrator) stripped 2026-06-08; re-assigned User Administrator only. Confirmed pre-existing (not attacker-planted) via directoryAudits.
- Ken FullAccess to Accounting@ removed (2026-06-09 remediation) — this delegate access was the vector for attacker to operate the finance mailbox.

## Patterns & Known Issues

### [CRITICAL PATTERN] Incomplete remediation = attacker persistence

**What happened:** April 2026 remediation revoked an IMAP OAuth consent that was provably granted by Ken's account. The correct response was: revoke consent + reset Ken's password + revoke Ken's sessions. Instead, only the consent was revoked. The attacker still had Ken's valid password, so they retained full OWA access for ~2 months until June 2026.

**Rule:** Whenever an OAuth consent or suspicious sign-in is attributed to a specific user account object ID, that account's password MUST be reset and all sessions revoked — not just the consent or the artifact. Revoking an OAuth consent while the underlying credential is still valid accomplishes nothing if the attacker can simply log in directly.

### [CRITICAL PATTERN] Signal misclassification: financial-platform inbox rule + legacy-auth consent = auto-[WARNING]

**What happened:** The April breach check classified Ken's "Admin" inbox rule (filtering Capital One + Bill.com + @flystucson.com) as [INFO] with "confirm with user" guidance. Combined with the IMAP consent from the same user object, these two signals together should have triggered a mandatory [WARNING] and forced password reset — not a "ask Ken to confirm" deferral. "Confirm with the user" is unreliable when the account may already be compromised and the attacker can read incoming verification emails.

**Rule:** Financial-platform filtering inbox rule + legacy-auth IMAP consent from the same user object = treat as [WARNING] regardless of "could be legitimate" explanations. Escalate to password reset + session revocation. Do not defer to user confirmation without first containing the account.

### [PATTERN] Lookalike domain + reply-chain hijack + in-mailbox ACH fraud

This incident used a layered attack pattern:
1. Register a lookalike domain (kittlarizona.com vs kittlearizona.com) for reply-chain insertion.
2. Insert the lookalike address into a legitimate invoice email thread days before accessing the real mailbox (thread poisoning as of 2026-06-05, 3 days early).
3. Once inside the real mailbox, send from the REAL company email address (not the lookalike) for maximum legitimacy.
4. Hard-delete the evidence immediately after each send.
5. Supplement with vishing — phoning the target AP to verbally pressure approval.

**Rule:** ACH/bank-change requests received via email (even from a known email address) should ALWAYS require a callback to a pre-known phone number to verify. Email alone is insufficient authorization for banking changes, even from a trusted sender. The attacker was operating the real mailbox, not just spoofing it.

### [PATTERN] Dual-target simultaneous fraud

The attacker targeted TWO government AP departments simultaneously (City of Tucson from Ken/Accounting; Town of Marana from marco@), indicating prior reconnaissance of Kittle's active government billing relationships. Investigate scope of attacker's knowledge when post-mortems are conducted.

### [PATTERN] No Conditional Access + legacy protocols enabled = MFA bypass

Security Defaults-only protection does not block legacy auth clients (IMAP, POP, EAS, MAPI over HTTP). The attacker used IMAP/OAuth to authenticate without triggering MFA. Without a `Block legacy authentication` CA policy, Security Defaults' MFA enforcement is trivially bypassed by any attacker who can consent or steal a legacy-auth token.

**Rule:** Every tenant in the ACG fleet should have at minimum: `Block legacy authentication` CA policy. The `Require MFA for all users` + `Block non-US` combination adds additional depth. Security Defaults alone is not sufficient for clients with financial operations.

### [PATTERN] Privilege excess amplifies BEC impact

Ken was Global Admin AND had standing FullAccess (delegate) to the Accounting/finance mailbox. With a single credential compromise, the attacker could operate as the owner AND the bookkeeper simultaneously. Attacker leveraged Ken's delegate access to send fraudulent bank-change forms from the bookkeeper's real identity (not the lookalike).

**Rule:** Owners and executives should not hold standing FullAccess to financial mailboxes. If access is genuinely needed, use JIT (just-in-time) access grants, not permanent delegate permissions. Separate the owner identity from the finance identity.

### [PATTERN] Evidence deletion + dumpster recovery

Attacker hard-deleted the entire fraud email thread from both mailboxes immediately after each send. The deleted emails + PDF attachment were recovered from the M365 Recoverable Items dumpster (30-day default retention) via Graph API. **The dumpster saved this investigation.** Without it, the ACH fraud angle would not have been discovered.

**Rule:** Always check the Recoverable Items dumpster (`/mailFolders/recoverableitemsdeletions/messages`) during any BEC investigation. Attacker cleanup is incomplete — they can hard-delete from the mailbox but not from the dumpster without the purge permission they don't hold.

### [PATTERN] Lori GA exposure — pre-existing oversight

Lori Schagel had 10 admin roles including Global Administrator as a pre-existing condition, predating the incident by more than 30 days. Not attacker-planted. Two GA accounts on a 14-user small-business tenant represents unnecessary attack surface. If either is compromised, the other becomes the recovery path — but also becomes an extra target.

**Rule:** Small-business tenants should have exactly one active GA account (or two, with the second being a break-glass with a very strong password and no MFA registration, NOT a named-user account). Review GA assignments at every breach check. Strip and downscope unnecessary GA on sight.

### [WARNING] IMAP/POP/EAS still enabled tenant-wide

Legacy protocols remain enabled as of 2026-06-09. The CA `Block legacy authentication` policy now blocks sign-in via legacy auth, but the protocols themselves are still enabled and could represent residual risk (e.g., if the CA policy is ever accidentally disabled). Disable IMAP/POP/EAS at the mailbox level tenant-wide as defense in depth.

### [WARNING] ScreenConnect command runner defaults to `cmd` context

PowerShell scripts run via ScreenConnect MUST be prefixed with `#!ps`. `Invoke-WebRequest`, `ConvertTo-SecureString`, etc. silently fail without it.

### [WARNING] Do NOT run `Add-LocalGroupMember` on the DC

DCs have no local SAM; the command will fail with "Group Administrators was not found." Run on the target workstation instead.

### [WARNING] SERVER is the sole domain controller with no backup

Any outage = complete loss of AD, DNS, file shares, and QuickBooks data. No failover. No backup. Address before any other infrastructure work.

### [WARNING] QuickBooks Pro 2024 is on the DC

Do not migrate or decommission SERVER without a proper QuickBooks migration plan. Data is at `C:\Shares\Home\QBooks`.

## Active Work

### CRITICAL — Residual Incident Items

- [ ] **Remove Privileged Authentication Administrator from Tenant Admin SP in Kittle Entra portal.** (JIT role granted during reset-password.sh for Ken reset on 6/9; script cannot self-remove; MUST be done manually at https://entra.microsoft.com.) See coord todo or track in Syncro.
- [ ] **Disable IMAP/POP/EAS tenant-wide** — CA now blocks legacy auth, but protocols remain enabled. Defense-in-depth: disable at mailbox level.
- [ ] **Confirm bank freeze calls completed** (Truist 844-487-8478 / Enterprise Fraud Mgmt 866-802-4955; First State Bank fraud 866-372-1275; Chase Global Bank Recoveries 866-954-3718 opt 4 / gb.fraud.recovery@jpmorgan.com).
- [ ] **Re-add appropriate admin role to Ken** — all 10 stripped during containment; Ken is owner/GA by function. Re-add Global Administrator + Exchange Administrator once incident is formally closed.
- [ ] **alexis@ duplicate Authenticator cleanup** — entry `c927402a-75c6-4a55-840a-86d1eea43a9b` ("iPhone 12 Pro Max", app ver 6.8.40). Confirm with Alexis how many Kittle accounts are on her phone; remove if only one. Also review OATH token `7d1425ca-27d0-444d-9c36-6b3780c77059` if unused.
- [ ] **Wrex license removal** — mailbox converted to shared, user disabled; free the Business Standard license.
- [ ] **Christina Micek inbox rule on Ken** — confirmed benign during 6/8 sweep (copy rule, no suppression). Still worth Ken confirming explicitly for documentation closure.
- [ ] **Warn Ken's phished external contacts** — 740+ recipients received the "Ken Schagel shared a file with you" phishing email; link was `flowinnactuators.com/work.html` (credential harvesting). Formal notification recommended.
- [ ] **Run Entra P2 Identity Protection risky-users scan** — P2 now licensed; first risky-users sweep not yet run.
- [ ] **Confirm kittlarizona.com Zoho + Namecheap takedown** — abuse reports sent 2026-06-09; confirm suspension/removal.
- [ ] **Enable SSPR (Self-Service Password Reset) — portal-only mode** — reduces future recovery friction; limit to portal not mobile/email to avoid account-takeover via SSPR.
- [ ] **Confirm City of Tucson follow-up** — exact invoice amounts (especially #31400 ~$8,818), written documentation of payment stop, any City-side IC3 filing.

### HIGH Priority — Infrastructure

- [ ] **Activate Windows Server 2025 full license on SERVER** — evaluation expires 180 days from install; hourly shutdown after expiry. Check: `slmgr /dlv`.
- [ ] **Implement backup for SERVER** — no backup of any kind. Options: Windows Server Backup to USB/NAS, Veeam Free, cloud backup (Backblaze B2/Wasabi).
- [ ] **Configure DKIM for kittlearizona.com** — guide at `clients/kittle/docs/email/dkim-dmarc-setup.md`.
- [ ] **Add DMARC for kittlearizona.com** — start `p=none`, escalate to `p=quarantine` after 1 week clean.
- [ ] **Migrate credentials from Syncro plaintext to SOPS vault** — SERVER admin, Outlook accounts.
- [ ] **Migrate QuickBooks off the DC** — QB should run on ACCOUNTING workstation.
- [ ] **Deploy dedicated firewall** — ISP router only; no stateful inspection.

### MEDIUM Priority

- [ ] GuruRMM agent enrollment confirmation — confirm agents running on SERVER and workstations.
- [ ] Lori GA review — discuss with Ken whether she needs any admin role; User Administrator is current scope.
- [ ] Migrate DHCP from ISP router to Windows Server; verify DNS option hands out 10.0.0.5.
- [ ] Replace role-based AD accounts (accountant, frontdesk) with individual named accounts.
- [ ] Rename workstations with generic DESKTOP-xxx / WINDOWS-xxx names.
- [ ] Identify and map 3 unknown workstations.
- [ ] Investigate port 8019 on SERVER (likely QuickBooks or ScreenConnect).
- [ ] Lori old Samsung S10+ Authenticator entry da5454c7 — remove if she's confirmed on current phone.
- [ ] Enroll Scott in Microsoft Authenticator (phone-only MFA currently).
