The European Commission has admitted that attackers broke into its public-facing web infrastructure and siphoned off data in a bare-bones disclosure<\/a> that answers the what but ducks most of the how.<\/p>\n

The intrusion was spotted on March 24 and hit cloud systems hosting the Commission’s Europa websites, the front door for everything from policy pages to public information. Officials say they contained the incident quickly and that the sites stayed online, so there was no obvious outage while someone was poking around the back end.<\/p>\n

What that someone actually got is another matter. The Commission says data may have been exfiltrated, but leaves it there. There are no details about what kind of data was taken, how much, or who might be affected. There’s also no word on initial access, how long the attackers had access, or who might be responsible.<\/p>\n
