Oracle’s Time-Traveling Breach: Old Data, New Drama in 2025!
Oracle’s cloud security has taken a retro spin! Despite Oracle’s claim of “no breach” in current systems, it seems attackers accessed their vintage 2017 data, flaunting records from the future. Meanwhile, Oracle’s older platform, Oracle Cloud Classic, was the real target. So, it’s not a breach; it’s just a blast from the past!
Hot Take:
Oracle’s ‘legacy environment’ might as well be called their ‘forgotten environment,’ given that it’s now the gift that keeps on giving… to hackers! Talk about a blast from the past—Oracle is stuck in a time warp, and it’s not looking good. Meanwhile, the hackers seem to be operating in another dimension, with time-traveling data from the future. Maybe they can tell us who wins the next World Cup?
Key Points:
- Oracle confirmed a breach of its old client credentials, involving data from a “legacy environment” last used in 2017.
- CrowdStrike and the FBI are on the case, investigating the incident.
- Hackers have shared data from 2024 and 2025, making it a temporal conundrum.
- Oracle Health, formerly Cerner, also faced a breach impacting U.S. healthcare organizations.
- Oracle maintains that the breach did not affect its current Oracle Cloud services.
