Oracle Cloud Denies Hack Allegations Amid Cyber Heist Comedy of Errors
Oracle Cloud hasn’t been breached, says Oracle, despite a miscreant claiming otherwise. Alleged stolen data went up for sale, with the seller demanding $200 million. Oracle emphasizes no data was lost. Meanwhile, the crook is offering a bizarre trade: help decrypt encrypted credentials, and you’ll receive some data as a “gift.”
Hot Take:
Oracle’s denial of a data breach makes for a classic “he said, she said” story, but this time with a twist of cybercrime and a sprinkle of extortion. It seems like Oracle’s cloud is still forecasted to be sunny with a chance of credibility storms!

- Oracle has denied any breach of its public cloud service despite claims to the contrary.
