The European Union's cybersecurity agency, CERT-EU, has identified a cybercriminal group called TeamPCP as responsible for a significant data breach. The breach targeted the EU's executive body and resulted in the theft of 92GB of compressed data from an Amazon Web Services account. The stolen data included personal details such as names, email addresses, and email content. The breach impacted the cloud infrastructure of the Commission's Europa.eu platform, used by member states to host websites and publications of EU institutions and agencies.

The stolen data was later published online by another hacking group, ShinyHunters.
