Hacker alleged breaking into Oracle Cloud's servers through a vulnerability.
Oracle has dismissed the purported compromise of its Oracle Cloud single sign-on servers.
After claims were made by the threat actor 'rose87168' about exfiltrating six million records belonging to the firm's customers, including encrypted Oracle Cloud SSO and LDAP passwords, Java KeyStore files, and Enterprise Manager JPS keys, an Oracle spokesperson said "there has been no breach of Oracle Cloud.”
In a statement to The Register, the spokesperson said: “The published credentials are not for the Oracle Cloud. No Oracle Cloud customers experienced a breach or lost any data.”
In a post on BreachForums, rose87168 alleged breaking into Oracle Cloud's servers through a vulnerability, which CloudSEK believes might have been the CVE-2021-35587.
Oracle was also allegedly demanded to pay over $200 million worth of cryptocurrency as ransom, with the company's refusal now prompting rose87168 to seek assistance in decrypting the stolen credentials. "...[I]f someone can tell me how to decrypt them, I can give them some of the data as a gift," said rose87168.
