Oracle

Google researchers say the hacking group ShinyHunters has broadened its attacks targeting Oracle's PeopleSoft software, according to Reuters. The report indicates the group's operations have expanded beyond earlier targets to hit Oracle's enterprise platform, raising concerns for organisations that rely on PeopleSoft systems. Companies using the software are being urged to review their security as details of the campaign emerge.

Oracle is reported to be contractually obligated to pay investors in a data centre project even if the site never receives an electricity connection. The Financial Times reports the arrangement shifts power-supply risk onto the company, highlighting how stretched grids and rushed AI infrastructure deals are creating unusual financial exposure for big tech firms building data centres.

The hacking group ShinyHunters has broadened its cyberattack campaign targeting Oracle PeopleSoft systems, according to Fortune. The escalation came just days after the group defaced the FBI's jobs website. The targeting of widely used enterprise HR and finance software raises concerns about how many organizations may be exposed, and security teams are being urged to check their PeopleSoft deployments.

The hacking group ShinyHunters is reported to be exploiting a web application firewall bypass technique to break into organizations running Oracle PeopleSoft, according to BleepingComputer. The trick allegedly lets the group slip malicious requests past defensive filters, raising concerns for enterprises relying on WAFs alone. Security teams are being urged to patch and monitor PeopleSoft deployments.
