Cox Enterprises Hacked: Oracle EBS Breach Exposes 9,500 Victims in Cybercrime Spree
Cox Enterprises has confirmed its Oracle E-Business Suite was hit in a cybercrime spree, with personal info from nearly 9,500 people stolen. While Cox provided this info to the Maine Attorney General, it didn’t comment to SecurityWeek. The Cl0p ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the Oracle EBS campaign.
Hot Take:
Cox Enterprises just found out that being a jack-of-all-trades doesn’t exempt you from being a master of none when it comes to cyber hygiene. Who knew that the price of a data breach could be measured in terabytes? Maybe Cox should have called in Mr. Clean instead of Oracle. After all, a squeaky-clean EBS is less likely to wind up on Cl0p’s Wall of Shame.
Key Points:
- Cox Enterprises confirmed its Oracle EBS instance was hacked, with 9,500 individuals’ data compromised.
- The breach took place between August 9 and August 14, and 1.6 Tb of data was stolen.
- The Cl0p gang claims over 100 organizations, including major companies, were victims of the same hack.
- Some organizations have confirmed being targeted, while others remain silent on the issue.
- The attacks are linked to FIN11, a threat actor previously targeting file transfer products.
