"CERT-EU reported that hackers stole around 92 gigabytes of compressed data from a compromised Amazon Web Services account used by the European Commission, including personal data containing names, email addresses, and the contents of emails."
"The breach originated on March 19 when hackers acquired a secret API key associated with the European Commission's AWS account, following an earlier hack targeting the open-source security tool Trivy."
"While the size of the data breach is itself notable, the hack and subsequent leak of the European Commission's data by two separate hacking groups highlights a growing trend of cybercriminals working together to extort their victims."
The European Union's cybersecurity agency reported a significant data breach at the European Commission, attributed to the cybercriminal group TeamPCP. Approximately 92 gigabytes of data were stolen from an Amazon Web Services account, including personal information such as names and email addresses. The breach affected the Commission's Europa.eu platform and potentially impacted data from at least 29 other EU entities. The stolen data was later leaked online by another group, ShinyHunters. The breach originated from a compromised API key linked to a previous hack of the Trivy security tool.
