Link: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/04/0...

An anonymous reader shares a report: Oracle has told customers that a hacker
broke into a computer system and stole old client log-in credentials,
according to two people familiar with the matter. It's the second
cybersecurity breach that the software company has acknowledged to clients in
the last month. Oracle staff informed some clients this week that the
attacker gained access to usernames, passkeys and encrypted passwords,
according to the people, who spoke on condition that they not be identified
because they're not authorized to discuss the matter. Oracle also told them
that the FBI and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike are investigating the
incident, according to the people, who added that the attacker sought an
extortion payment from the company. Oracle told customers that the intrusion
is separate from another hack that the company flagged to some health-care
customers last month, the people said.
