Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Ransomware actors compromised ELECQ's AWS environment, encrypting and exfiltrating databases containing customer names, emails, phone numbers, and home addresses, while leaving payment data and chargers unaffected. The firm shut down remote access services, engaged incident responders, and notified EU regulators, while warning users about heightened phishing and social-engineering risk arising from exposed contact details.
