ShinyHunters hackers expanded attacks on Oracle’s PeopleSoft, Google says
Google said ShinyHunters resumed exploiting an Oracle PeopleSoft flaw, targeting dozens of systems after adapting to earlier defensive guidance, Mandiant said.
- On Friday, Google's cybersecurity unit reported that hacking group ShinyHunters has renewed "mass exploitation" of a security flaw in Oracle's PeopleSoft software, bypassing defenses implemented after summer attacks.
- Mandiant reported that hackers adapted to defensive guidance published after the May-June attacks, targeting organizations that implemented firewall rules but failed to apply Oracle's critical PeopleSoft security patch.
- ShinyHunters claimed the latest attack affected dozens of global systems across healthcare and government sectors; the group previously alleged it accessed Federal Bureau personnel data and sensitive records.
- In a statement issued Wednesday, the FBI said it was "aggressively investigating" the reported breach, though Reuters has not been able to corroborate the hacker's claims.
- Oracle did not respond to requests for comment regarding the renewed exploitation, while researchers continue evaluating the security compromise's extent across affected global systems.
