PeopleSoft

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.

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.
