racle has told its customers that a hacker broke into a computer system and stole older client log-in details, reported Bloomberg.
In March, a person whose identity has not been identified attempted to sell data that was stolen from cloud servers in Austin, according to a report. The data leak comes as the second cybersecurity breach that the company has acknowledged to the public in the past month.
It is also worth mentioning that Oracle has told clients that the data breach is also separate from the hacking incident that was also flagged to some healthcare customers in the previous month, as the report made known.
It is also safe to say that the report also mentioned that the informed customers know that the system has been used for eight years, also adding that the stolen data from clients poses little risk. Among the stolen data, Oracle customers also included log-in credentials, most recently from 2024.
In the statement addressed to customers, Bloomberg News reported that Oracle has said, “There has been no breach of Oracle Cloud. The published credentials are not for the Oracle Cloud. No Oracle Cloud customers experienced a breach or lost any data.”.
It is also worth noting that researchers from the cybersecurity company Trustwave Holdings validated the data, which was posted for sale online, as directly extracted from Oracle, as Karl Sigler, a senior security research manager at Trustwave SpiderLabs Threat Intelligence. The stolen data from the company is considered to be a “rich dataset” that could also be used by hackers to send out phishing e-mails, and also has the potential to take over people’s accounts.

Bloomberg has also reported that hackers have also broken into a different Oracle computer system and stolen patient data in theri tries to extort more medical providers in the US, which was reported late last month.
Even more so, in March, Oracle alerted some users of their patient records management software that, after January 22, hackers also accessed company servers and made copies of patient data in a different location, according to a notification that the software company sent to clients, as it was reported by Bloomberg.
