On November 6, The Washington Post - one of the most influential newspapers in the US - said it was one of the victims of a large-scale cyber security breach involving software from technology corporation Oracle.
The newspaper did not provide further details, but the statement came after the Clop hacker group posted on its website that the newspaper was one of the victims of the attack. Neither Clop nor Oracle responded to requests for comment.
Ransomware groups often publicize lists of victims to pressure them into paying up, and Clop is one of the most active in the world .
The group is accused of being behind a large-scale cybercrime campaign targeting Oracle's E-Business Suite enterprise software platform, which is used by businesses to manage customers, suppliers, manufacturing, logistics and other business processes.
Last month, Google cybersecurity experts said more than 100 companies may have been affected by a cyberattack involving Oracle software.
In this attack, the Clop group took advantage of a serious security vulnerability (zero-day) in E-Business Suite, forcing Oracle to release an emergency patch to stop illegal intrusion and exploitation./.
