ShinyHunters Hacked 100+ Organizations By Exploiting an Oracle PeopleSoft 0-Day

ShinyHunters claims it exploited a critical Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day to compromise more than 100 organizations, including the University of Nottingham, where it says it stole 40GB of student and billing data. “ShinyHunters posted the UK university on its data leak site on Tuesday before publishing the stolen files later that same day, presumably because the school refused to pay the extortion demand,” reports The Register. From the report: “University of Nottingham on our leak site is one of the first publicly confirmed incidents,” a ShinyHunters spokesperson told us.
