ShinyHunters Target Universities with Oracle Hack

A crew called ShinyHunters claims to have hacked over 100 organizations using Oracle’s PeopleSoft system — a critical platform for universities managing student, payroll, and sensitive personal data. They’re hitting targets en masse, exploiting one vulnerability to cause widespread disruption, stealing birth dates, addresses, health, and immigration records. Their original target was an FBI server, likely to post a denial of involvement in swatting incidents — but they pivoted to a broader campaign. This chilling attack underscores how cybercriminals are evolving, targeting institutions with massive data stores and sophisticated, high-impact tactics.
