CERT-EU said the AWS account behind the European Commission's europa.eu web-hosting service was compromised and about 91.7 GB (compressed) of data was exfiltrated, including names, email addresses and email content [1]. CERT-EU assessed with high confidence that initial access came from the Trivy supply-chain compromise; the data relates to up to 71 hosting clients, 42 internal Commission clients and at least 29 other Union entities, and ShinyHunters published it on March 28 [1]. CERT-EU recommends rotating all AWS secrets and credentials that may have been exposed to Trivy and reviewing CloudTrail for indicators such as anomalous STS calls [1].
