Larry’s PR angels desperately dance on the head of a pin.

#Oracle is now admitting that, yes, an #OracleCloud service was breached—or so we’re told by deep throat sources. This is, of course, despite last week’s vehement denials.

Yet it’s still not official. And Oracle seems to be justifying its previous denial with a semantic sleight-of-hand worthy of Bill Clinton. In #SBBlogwatch, we see men tic.

Security Boulevard · Oracle Hack: From ‘Deny-Deny-Deny’ to ‘Oops-Oops-Oops’Classic “wordplay:” Larry’s PR angels desperately dance on the head of a pin.

The thing about Oracle's breach response that really irks me is the sheer audacity and hubris of large conglomerates to treat their customers and the general public with disdain, holding both at arms length, extracting wealth from one while pretending the other doesn't exist unless they show interest.

If you didn't know how predatory Oracle is when it comes to licensing, well here's an example; your downloads of Java and the extensions pack for VirtualBox do not go unnoticed. If they see an arbitrary number of downloads from a range of IP's that they can tie back to a company, they will attempt to strong-arm that company.

They will begin harassing that company with threats of software audit until they comply by buying licensing.

The Register · Oracle's masterclass in breach comms: Deny, deflect, repeatBy Connor Jones

Wer einen #Cyberangriff nicht richtig meldet, macht sich im Zweifelsfall zum #Schadensersatz pflichtig: Viele Unternehmen denken beim Thema Cybervorfall nur an die möglichen #Bußgelder - im Zweifelsfall können die durch Zivilklagen eintretenden Pflichten zum Schadensersatz aber noch deutlich schwerwiegender sein.

Nach dem Cyberangriff auf #Oracle hat sich der US-Konzern entweder ausgeschwiegen oder eine Salamitaktik-Kommunikation betrieben.

Oracle is in bed with the US regime and is bidding for TikTok, which means it's on the good side of DT. It seems to be under the impression it can get away with this deceitful behavior because it's the Wild West again - and it's not alone. Apple, Meta and other tech companies are hiding behind DT to try and escape the consequences of their wrongdoing.

This is going to come back and bite Oracle in the behind.

"Wayback Machine archive has been scrubbed."

"rose87168 left a text file on the Oracle Access Manager frontend as proof they were there."

"Oracle appears to have had that URL removed from the Wayback Machine on request."
