A hacker sneaked into a computer system and took previous client log-in credentials, Oracle (ORCL.N) informed clients in a new tab, according to a media story on Wednesday that cited two individuals with knowledge of the situation.
The report claims that an unidentified individual started trying to sell data obtained from the cloud servers of Austin, Texas-based Oracle online last month.
According to the article, it is the second cybersecurity incident that the software business has disclosed to customers in the past month.
Oracle informed some customers that the FBI and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD.O) are looking into the matter, according to the report, which also stated that the attacker demanded extortion money from the business.
According to the article, the cloud computing provider informed clients that the hacking problem it had alerted select healthcare customers about last month was not related to the data breach.
A representative for CrowdStrike pointed to the cloud provider, while Oracle did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
Oracle employees admitted to a few clients this week that an attacker had gained access to a legacy environment.
The firm told clients that the stolen client credentials were not a major danger because the system had not been used for eight years.
According to the report, among the stolen data were Oracle customer log-in credentials from as recently as 2024.
