## Incident
Joel Lohr's workstation (DF-JOEL2, 192.168.0.143) compromised via phishing email to personal Yahoo account. Attacker "Angel Raya" deployed ScreenConnect C2 backdoors. M365 account also compromised from Turkey/UK/Germany.

## Attacker
- C2: 80.76.49.18 and 45.88.91.99 (AS399486, Virtuo, Montreal QC) - SUSPENDED by host
- Cloud relay: instance-wlb9ga-relay.screenconnect.com
- ConnectWise case: 03464184
- IC3 complaint: 1c32ade367084be9acd548f23705736f

## Remediation
- C2 IPs blocked at UDM firewall (iptables - need permanent rules in UniFi UI)
- 3 rogue ScreenConnect clients uninstalled
- jlohr AD password reset, M365 sessions revoked
- 32 machines scanned clean, 28 unreachable (offline)
- No lateral movement detected

## MFA Rollout
- 3 CA policies deployed (report-only until April 4, 2026):
  - Require MFA (skip from office IP 67.206.163.122)
  - Block foreign sign-ins (US only, MFA-Travel-Bypass group for exceptions)
  - Block legacy auth
- 19/38 users MFA-ready, 19 need to register
- MFA notice sent to all users, deadline April 4

## Joel Lohr
- Retiring March 31, 2026
- Auto-reply directs contacts to Dan Center (dcenter@dataforth.com)
- Account should be disabled after retirement

**Why:** Active security incident requiring immediate response.
**How to apply:** Monitor CA policies in report-only mode, enforce April 4. Check 28 offline machines when available. Add C2 IPs to permanent UDM block list.
