Clop hackers caught exploiting Oracle zero-day bug to steal executives’ personal data

Oracle has patched a zero-day vulnerability that was being exploited by the Clop hacking group to steal sensitive personal data from company executives. The vulnerability, which affected Oracle's Fusion Middleware product, allowed the hackers to gain unauthorized access to executives' personal information, which they then used as part of a large-scale extortion campaign. The Clop group, known for its aggressive tactics, has been targeting high-profile organizations and individuals in an effort to extort money. By exploiting the Oracle vulnerability, the hackers were able to obtain personal details, such as contact information and financial data, which they threatened to release publicly if their demands were not met. Oracle has since released a security patch to address the issue, and the company is urging its customers to apply the update as soon as possible to protect against this threat. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and keeping software up-to-date to mitigate the risk of such attacks.
