## Summary

A supply chain attack targeting Trivy, an open-source security scanner, was used to compromise the European Commission's cloud infrastructure. The breach, reported by EU-CERT, resulted in the theft and public leak of approximately 92 GB of compressed data, including personal information and email contents of staff across dozens of EU institutions. The attack also previously compromised the LiteLLM system, and the full scope of the incident is still emerging.
