Is there anything American that's worth a shit anymore?
Fuck Oracle.
Oracle is a public company. Public companies must file data breaches with the SEC or they can get into some hot water. They are not ran by smart people.
I hope Oracle will finally send out mails to the affected customers. No idea if I am affected as Oracles login process is so convoluted that I have no desire to deal with it or understand it.
Just assume you are.
Ok, who of you guys is working with Oracle Cloud and has not yet rerolled all API/Access Keys, passwords and so on? And what company do you happen work for? ^Just asking for a friend^
I wonder how many of those companies - that are stuck with Oracle due to legacy software - have just too many keys to reroll that they just won't do it. Mainly due to everything being a manual process.
At least we're constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.
Depending on the system you're working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the "problematic" systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.
So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in "my" systems... I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there's always something that doesn't go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well... Good luck. You'll need it.
Omg we have the same friend! Also no 😬
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
