A security breach has compromised the European Commission's Amazon cloud infrastructure, prompting an investigation into the incident. The Commission, the European Union's primary executive body, has confirmed that a threat actor gained unauthorized access to its cloud account. This breach may signal a shift in attack methods, as threat actors increasingly target cloud infrastructure to exploit sensitive data. The European Commission's cloud infrastructure is likely built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has faced numerous security challenges in recent years. The breach may have significant implications for the European Union's data protection regulations and supply chain security. As the investigation unfolds, details on the breach, including the specific AWS services affected and the vulnerability exploited, such as a potential CVE, are expected to emerge1. This incident matters to security practitioners because a breach of this nature can have far-reaching consequences, including downstream regulatory and supply-chain effects that can impact organizations relying on cloud services.
