name: AWS Multi-Factor Authentication Disabled

type: TTP
description: The following analytic identifies an attempt to disable multi-factor
authentication for an AWS IAM user. An adversary who has obtained access to an AWS
tenant may disable multi-factor authentication as a way to plant a backdoor and
maintain persistence using a valid account. This way the attackers can keep persistance
in the environment without adding new users.
data_source: []
search: '`cloudtrail` (eventName= DeleteVirtualMFADevice OR eventName=DeactivateMFADevice)
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by src eventName eventSource
aws_account_id userAgent eventID awsRegion user_name userIdentity.arn status | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `aws_multi_factor_authentication_disabled_filter`'
how_to_implement: The Splunk AWS Add-on is required to utilize this data. The search
requires AWS Cloudtrail logs.
known_false_positives: AWS Administrators may disable MFA but it is highly unlikely
for this event to occur without prior notice to the company
