Oracle’s Data Dilemma: Hack Denials and Classic Cloud Chaos
Oracle faces backlash over its cybersecurity incident disclosure. The hack, involving legacy systems, saw usernames exposed, though Oracle insists no Oracle Cloud Infrastructure breach occurred. Critics, including Max Solonski, argue Oracle’s response is inadequate, with potential risks still looming. Meanwhile, the hacker admitted failing to crack the encrypted passwords.
Hot Take:
Oracle’s cybersecurity incident is like watching a magician deny pulling a rabbit out of a hat, while the rabbit hops around the stage. Their performance in managing this breach has been anything but magical, leaving customers questioning if there’s a trick up their sleeve or if they’ve simply lost the plot.
Key Points:
- Hacker claims to have compromised Oracle Cloud servers, offering millions of records for sale.
- Oracle initially denied a breach, later admitted to a hack on obsolete servers, not OCI.
- Critics slammed Oracle’s response as inadequate and potentially misleading.
- The hacker couldn’t crack encrypted passwords, but usernames were leaked.
- Questions remain about the hack’s method and the age of the compromised data.
