The European Commission disclosed that attackers breached its public-facing cloud web infrastructure (Europa websites) on March 24 and that data may have been exfiltrated; some reports claim access to the Commission's AWS environment and roughly 350 GB of data taken. The Commission states internal systems were not affected but has provided minimal detail on what data was stolen, how the attackers gained access, how long they were present, or who is responsible.
