The Washington Post Says It Was Impacted By Cyber Breach Of Oracle Software

The Washington Post has confirmed it is among the victims affected by a widespread cyber breach related to Oracle software.

In an official statement released Thursday, the newspaper acknowledged that it was impacted "by the breach of the Oracle E-Business Suite platform."

No additional details were provided by the news organization. However, the announcement follows claims by the notorious ransomware group CL0P, which listed The Washington Post among its victims on its website. Neither CL0P nor Oracle immediately responded to requests for comment.

Ransomware attackers typically publicize their victims as a tactic to embarrass them into paying extortion demands. CL0P is recognized as one of the world's most active ransomware groups. The hacking collective is allegedly central to an extensive cybercriminal operation targeting Oracle's E-Business Suite applications, which Oracle clients utilize for managing customers, suppliers, manufacturing, logistics, and various other business processes.

Last month, Google reported that the intrusions likely affected more than 100 companies.
