Oracle’s “Patch or Panic” Saga: Clop Ransomware Strikes Again!
Oracle advises E-Business Suite users to “patch your systems,” following Clop-linked extortion emails. Cybercriminals claim to exploit vulnerabilities Oracle patched in July. While Oracle insists they aren’t compromised, execs are still receiving ransom threats. Remember, folks, patching isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a lifestyle!
Hot Take:
Oracle’s blog post about the Clop extortion emails is the cybersecurity equivalent of your mom telling you to wear a jacket because it’s cold outside: obvious, redundant, yet somehow still necessary. If only the advice to “patch your damn systems” came with a warm cup of cocoa, maybe it would be more comforting to the execs now facing ransom demands!
Key Points:
- Oracle finally addressed Clop-linked extortion emails but emphasized the need for patching systems.
- The crooks exploit vulnerabilities that Oracle patched in July 2025.
- Mandiant and Google’s Threat Intelligence Group found no evidence of Oracle’s direct compromise.
- Halcyon suggests the situation involves configuration and default business logic abuse.
- Oracle’s blog doesn’t specify how many customers were affected or confirm Clop’s involvement.
