Oracle Breach Debacle: Denials, Data Leaks, and a Comedy of Errors

Oracle denies a breach, but the mystery deepens as a hacker claims to have cracked Oracle Cloud like a walnut on a holiday platter. Despite Oracle’s insistence of no breach, data samples and a rogue email exchange suggest otherwise. Who’s telling the truth? Only time, and perhaps a very persistent IT specialist, will tell.

Hot Take:

Oracle’s response to the alleged breach is like a parent denying their kid’s cookie theft, despite crumbs and chocolate smeared all over their face. Meanwhile, the cyber-sleuths at BleepingComputer have found that the cookie jar is indeed missing some treats, much to Oracle’s dismay. But who needs evidence when you have a strong denial, right?

Key Points:

  • Oracle denies any breach of its Cloud servers, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
  • A threat actor, ‘rose87168’, claims to have stolen data for 6 million users.
  • BleepingComputer verified the authenticity of leaked data with affected companies.
  • Threat actor allegedly exploited a vulnerability in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.
  • Oracle remains tight-lipped despite multiple inquiries from BleepingComputer.
