A cybercriminal group called ShinyHunters stole personal data in a recent cyberattack on the European Commission's cloud infrastructure, the European Union's in-house cybersecurity team said on Thursday.
The EU’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-EU) said attackers took personal data including “names, email addresses and email content” when the EU executive's cloud services suffered a breach in March, in a detailed technical statement.
The ShinyHunters group was reportedly responsible for a major hack of a Dutch telecom operator in February, and is part of a wider group that claimed responsibility for a hack of Jaguar Land Rover that knocked approximately €2.2 billion off the United Kingdom’s economy last year.
