Oracle denies hacker's claims of stolen data records
Oracle has denied being hacked after a hacker claimed to have stolen 6 million data records. The hacker, known as rose87168, said they were selling this data from Oracle Cloud's login servers. Oracle responded that there was no breach and that the published credentials were not related to Oracle Cloud. The company assured customers that no data was lost. The hacker released text files containing some information they claim came from Oracle's systems. They also shared a link suggesting they had uploaded a file to Oracle's servers. Oracle is questioning how this could happen if their systems were secure. The hacker is selling the stolen data, which includes encrypted passwords and other sensitive information, on a dark web forum. They say the passwords can be decrypted despite being encrypted. The hacker has also offered to help others decrypt the data in exchange for more information. The hacker claimed they accessed Oracle's servers about 40 days ago and contacted Oracle, demanding money to provide details about the breach. Oracle reportedly refused to pay, instead asking for information to fix the issue. Oracle is working with affected companies to verify the claims. They have promised to update the situation as more information becomes available.
