Nissan discloses employee data breach linked to Oracle zero-day attacks

Nissan is warning that it suffered a data breach affecting current and former employees after threat actors exploited an Oracle PeopleSoft vulnerability in data theft attacks previously linked to the ShinyHunters extortion group.

In breach notifications filed with the California Attorney General's Office, Oracle says these data theft attacks impacted hundreds of companies and that Nissan was specifically targeted in the campaign.

"Nissan Americas uses Oracle PeopleSoft software to manage employee information, including payroll, tax administration, and other personnel records," reads the breach notification.
