GlobalLogic’s Oracle E-Business Suite fell victim to a zero-day exploit, compromising data of over 10,000 employees. The breach, a treasure trove for phishing enthusiasts, involved sensitive HR details. As Oracle and Google Mandiant confirmed the exploit, GlobalLogic quickly patched it but not before the data made its grand exit.
