LWN recently
reported on the Trivy
compromise that led, in turn, to the compromise of the LiteLLM system; that
article made the point that the extent of the problem was likely rather
larger than was known. The Next Web now
reports
that the Trivy attack was used to compromise a wide range of European
Commission systems.
The European Union's computer emergency response team said on
Thursday that a supply chain attack on an open-source security
scanner gave hackers the keys to the European Commission's cloud
infrastructure, resulting in the theft and public leak of
approximately 92 gigabytes of compressed data including the
personal information and email contents of staff across dozens of
EU institutions.
