Summary

Hide ▲

The European Commission is investigating a security breach after a threat actor gained access to its Amazon cloud infrastructure. At least one account used to manage the compromised environment was affected, and the incident response team is now handling the case. The attacker claims to have stolen over 350 GB of data, including multiple databases. That claim raises the risk of a later data leak and broader exposure of employee information.
