## In brief

- Brenner Base Tunnel SE, the company building the Brenner Base Tunnel between Italy and Austria, has confirmed a breach.
- The group Everest claims to have obtained 812 GB of data.
- Security Affairs argues the public alarm is overblown and helps propaganda more than the attackers.

## Why it matters

A confirmed breach at a major infrastructure operator is a reminder to review third-party access and how sensitive data is stored and shared, though the sources do not yet confirm what data was taken.
