Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Aqua Security breach identified under incident ID AQUEUR1775299151.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Aqua Security's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aquasecteam, the number of followers: 66228, the industry type: Computer and Network Security and the number of employees: 481 employees
After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 577 and after the incident was 571 with a difference of -6 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.
In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on Aqua Security and their customers.
On 27 March 2026, European Commission disclosed Data Breach issues under the banner "European Commission Cloud Breach Exposes Data from 30 EU Entities, Linked to TeamPCP".
On March 27, 2026, CERT-EU disclosed a cybersecurity breach affecting the European Commission’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment, exposing data from at least 30 EU entities.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting AWS cloud environment (Europa web hosting service), and exposing 350GB of data (emails, databases, contracts, personal information), with nearly Over 51,000 outbound emails records at risk.
In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Investigation by Cybersecurity Operations Centre (CSOC), and stakeholders are being briefed through Notified affected parties; full impact assessment ongoing.
The case underscores how Ongoing, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Affected parties notified.
Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.
MITRE ATT&CK® Correlation Analysis
Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Supply Chain Compromise: Compromise Software Supply Chain (T1195.002) with high confidence (95%), supported by evidence indicating supply-chain attack on Trivy, a vulnerability scanning tool and Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating initial access occurred via a compromised AWS API key. Under the Execution tactic, the analysis identified Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating deployed TruffleHog, a credential-scanning tool. Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Account Manipulation: Additional Cloud Credentials (T1098.001) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating created additional access keys to evade detection. Under the Privilege Escalation tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating compromised AWS API key used for reconnaissance and data exfiltration. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating used compromised AWS API key to evade detection and Account Manipulation: Additional Cloud Credentials (T1098.001) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating created additional access keys to evade detection.
