# Lateral Movement and Network Segment Compromise

**Background:**
Post-RAT deployment, there were signs of lateral movement within the network, targeting secure segments.

**Findings:**
- Unauthorized access attempts were identified on systems within the secure network segments.
- Credentials were harvested from compromised machines, facilitating the lateral spread.
- Systems housing sensitive aerospace data were specifically targeted.

**Implications:**
The adversary's ability to navigate the network poses a substantial risk to sensitive data and operational security.

**Next Steps:**
Implement network segmentation and tighten access controls to prevent further lateral movement.
