Oracle quietly admits data breach, days after lawsuit accused it of cover-up

A lawsuit filed accused Oracle of failing to acknowledge a recent data breach. Oracle attempted to minimize the severity of the incident by describing the compromised system as a “legacy environment” that had been unused for eight years. The lawsuit specifically addresses a major security breach discovered in March that reportedly compromised 6 million records containing sensitive authentication-related data from Oracle Cloud infrastructure, potentially affecting more than 140,000 tenant databases.
