Cl0p-linked Extortion Targets Oracle E-Business Suite
🔒 Researchers at Halcyon, Google, and Mandiant report an extortion campaign attributed to actors likely affiliated with the Cl0p gang, targeting Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) via exposed local login pages. Attackers allegedly abused the AppsLocalLogin.jsp password‑reset workflow to obtain local credentials that bypass SSO and often lack MFA, then sent executive extortion demands with proof samples. Demands range into seven and eight figures, reportedly up to $50 million; defenders are advised to restrict public EBS access, enforce MFA, and review logs immediately.
