The cyberattack on the European Commission

The recent cyberattack on the European Commission (EC) may have been a lot worse than initially thought, as we now know it affected almost 30 different European Union (EU) entities.The attack saw TeamPCP, a relatively unknown threat actor, manage to get a malicious version of Trivy into the update stream that users trust.

This malicious version allowed TeamPCP to obtain an Amazon Web Services (AWS) API key of the European Commission, which granted them control over other AWS accounts affiliated with the EC. Is European Union struggling to contain cyberattacks ?
