🏥 Oracle Health breach compromises patient data at US hospitals
@BleepingComputer

「 Oracle says that the threat actor used compromised customer credentials to breach the servers sometime after January 22, 2025, and copied data to a remote server. This stolen data "may" have included patient information from electronic health records 」

#Oracle äußert sich nun zum #Cloud #Datenleck - aber ganz offiziell nur inoffiziell: Nach dem Beginn der Sammelklage gegen das Unternehmen in den USA werden nun Kunden darüber in Kenntnis gesetzt, dass Anmeldeinformationen wie Benutzernamen, Passkeys und verschlüsselte Passwörter in die Hände von Cyberangreifern gelangt sind. Und in der Vergangenheit war regelmäßig nur die Rede von "Legacy Systemen", nun sprechen wir auf einmal über Datensätze aus dem Jahr 2025:

DoublePulsar · Oracle attempt to hide serious cybersecurity incident from customers in Oracle SaaS serviceBy Kevin Beaumont

🔓 Oracle finally admits to a major data breach—after being sued for hiding it.

Just days after being hit with a class-action lawsuit for allegedly covering up a major data breach, Oracle has begun privately notifying some customers of a security incident that compromised login credentials—including data from as recently as 2024.

Key highlights:
🔓 Hacker accessed usernames, passkeys, and encrypted passwords
💰 Extortion attempt reported
⏱️ Lawsuit claims Oracle failed to notify victims within 60 days
⚖️ Plaintiffs demand better security & transparency

Despite Oracle calling it an outdated system, the lawsuit points to risks that are very current. This is a critical moment for cloud providers to re-evaluate incident response protocols.

CSO Online · Oracle quietly admits data breach, days after lawsuit accused it of cover-upBy Gyana Swain

Larry’s PR angels desperately dance on the head of a pin.

#Oracle is now admitting that, yes, an #OracleCloud service was breached—or so we’re told by deep throat sources. This is, of course, despite last week’s vehement denials.

Yet it’s still not official. And Oracle seems to be justifying its previous denial with a semantic sleight-of-hand worthy of Bill Clinton. In #SBBlogwatch, we see men tic.
