144000 customers data were stolen after Oracle was hacked

Oracle has been the victim of a hacker attack with 6 million rows of data from 144,000 customers stolen, according to a report by Bleeping Computer . The data was sold on a black market site with the hackers demanding Oracle pay 100,000 XMR (~RM 97 million) to disclose the vulnerability used to make the system accessible. So, what should you know about it?

For your information, Oracle has denied that its Oracle Cloud system has been breached by hackers, but several customers have confirmed the authenticity of the stolen data. Among the stolen data are encrypted passwords, Java Keystore (JKS) files, key files and customer JPS manager keys. The hackers said the system was successfully accessed 40 days ago. The hackers not only want to sell the data but also ask other hackers for help to decrypt the passwords in the stolen database.

We have yet to confirm other details on the news. So, we should wait for more information from Oracle. Hopefully, everything will be sorted out soon.
