Oracle’s “Non-Breach” Breach: When Wordplay Meets Cybersecurity!
Oracle’s recent ordeal was more of a retro revival than a modern security breach, involving credentials from two outdated servers. While hackers tried to flex by leaking data, Oracle Cloud remained untouched and unbothered. So, while the old servers had a security hiccup, Oracle Cloud was busy sipping tea and scrolling memes.
Hot Take:
Oracle’s email notifications are like those “nothing to see here” signs, only to reveal there’s a circus tent just out of view. While they assure us that the Oracle Cloud is as untouched as your New Year’s resolutions, the drama behind the scenes suggests otherwise. It’s like watching a magician who insists their trick isn’t a trick—just ignore that rabbit hopping away.
Key Points:
- Oracle confirmed a security breach involving credentials from “two obsolete servers”, but no Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) breach occurred.
- The breach involved a legacy platform, Oracle Cloud Classic, which Oracle rebranded to distinguish from its current cloud services.
- Leaked data reportedly includes user emails, hashed passwords, and usernames from Oracle’s Gen 1 servers.
- Oracle maintains that the breach did not affect customer environments or data on the active Oracle Cloud platform.
- Cybersecurity firm CybelAngel reported malware presence on affected servers as early as January 2025.
