Oracle’s Cloud-tastrophe: Infosec Community Rips Apart Data Breach Response
Oracle’s latest letter to customers about a cloud intrusion feels like a masterclass in corporate deflection. The infosec community is both amused and outraged, as Oracle insists its Cloud Infrastructure was untouched. Meanwhile, hackers brag about their loot, and Oracle’s response seems to be “deny, deflect, repeat.”
Hot Take:
Oracle’s attempt to sweep this cloud breach under the digital rug has left the infosec community less than amused. It’s akin to a magician failing to distract the audience while pulling a rabbit out of the hat. The data magician might want to upgrade their act, or at least their security protocols!
Key Points:
- Oracle insists its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) wasn’t breached, but other parts were.
- The company took 18 days to inform customers after data was put up for sale.
- Intrusion involved obsolete, unpatched servers and exposed sensitive data.
- Oracle’s response was criticized for lack of transparency and accountability.
- Infosec experts are advising customers to consider more reputable cloud vendors.
