Oracle’s Cloudy Situation: Data Breach Drama Unfolds Quietly
Oracle confirms a cloud data breach, quietly informing customers while insisting all is well. The hacker, rose87168, claims to have millions of records and demanded $20 million. Oracle denies any breach, but the hacker’s evidence suggests otherwise. The incident raises serious concerns about Oracle’s cloud security.
Hot Take:
Oracle’s latest cloud hiccup is a classic case of “deny till you die.” While they’re busy playing the name game and insisting it’s not their cloud, hackers are having a field day with what looks like a treasure trove of data. Oracle, perhaps it’s time to trade wordplay for actual play-by-play transparency?
Key Points:
