Earlier this month, a threat actor going by Rose87168 claimed to have breached Oracle Cloud’s federated SSO servers and exfiltrated around 6 million records, affecting over 144,000 Oracle clients. The hacker provided an internal customer list and threatened to sell the data unless clients paid to remove their data from the trove, which included single sign-on credentials, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol passwords, OAuth2 keys, tenant data, and more. Rose87168 has also solicited help from the hacking community to crack the hashed password in trade for some of the data.
Is there anything American that’s worth a shit anymore?
Oracle is a public company. Public companies must file data breaches with the SEC or they can get into some hot water. They are not ran by smart people.
Fuck Oracle.
Ok, who of you guys is working with Oracle Cloud and has not yet rerolled all API/Access Keys, passwords and so on? And what company do you happen work for? ^Just asking for a friend^
I wonder how many of those companies - that are stuck with Oracle due to legacy software - have just too many keys to reroll that they just won’t do it. Mainly due to everything being a manual process.
At least we’re constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.
Depending on the system you’re working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the “problematic” systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.
So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in “my” systems… I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there’s always something that doesn’t go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well… Good luck. You’ll need it.
Omg we have the same friend! Also no 😬
Because they can hide it & not face any consequences.
The number of clients I’ve worked with who are “stuck” with Oracle passes the 50% mark and I’m just one person.
One company said that Oracle offered them a de-obfuscation tool to migrate elsewhere for a mere $2M. Absurd.
Fuck Oracle.
Uh, what, you can’t just pull your data and move elsewhere?
Oracle is not a tech company it’s a racket run by an army of lawyers. Obligatory link to Bryan Cantrill’s talk.
In that market, it might be a decent deal.
Maybe in some cases. This particular company at the time had revenue of $5M, with a much lower net, so $2M want even feasible.
They’re probably not a very good candidate to be an Oracle client either. They typically target larger accounts. Shame to end up stuck like that.
