EU’s executive body says hackers stole data from its cloud storage, but internal systems are safe.
Brussels: The European Union’s top executive body was attacked by hackers. The hackers stole information from the Commission’s cloud storage. The Commission says they found the attack quickly and stopped it from spreading.
Thomas Regnier, a Commission spokesperson, said the attack affected part of their cloud systems. They took action right away. They checked all their computer systems and found that the main internal systems were not hurt. The Commission is still looking into what happened.
The hackers stole hundreds of gigabytes of data from the Commission’s Amazon Web Services account. They took databases and other important information. The hackers showed some proof by sending screenshots to a news website. It is not clear what kind of information they got.
