Source Bleeping Computer

Description

Oracle PeopleSoft servers are being targeted in ongoing data theft attacks by the ShinyHunters extortion gang, which claims to have stolen data from over 100 organizations. [...]

Impact

Data theft from Oracle PeopleSoft servers has occurred, with sensitive business and administrative information potentially exposed. Victims face extortion demands and public data leaks. The attacks affect both cloud and on-premises deployments, potentially disrupting business operations and compromising confidential data. The threat actor's ability to exploit both known and unknown vulnerabilities increases risk, especially for improperly configured or unpatched systems.

Defensive guidance

Organizations should analyze logs for connections from the identified malicious IP addresses and investigate any signs of compromise. If indicators of compromise are found, initiate incident response and consider temporarily isolating affected PeopleSoft servers from internet access until secured. Review and strengthen administrative account credentials and access controls to prevent credential spraying and unauthorized SSH access. Monitor for any updates from Oracle regarding patches or mitigations.
