The Washington Post has said that it was one of the victims of a hacking campaign tied to Oracle\u2019s suite of corporate software app<\/a>s.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reuters first reported<\/a> the news<\/a> on Friday, citing a statement from the newspaper that said it was affected \u201cby the breach of the Oracle E-Business Suite platform.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Post did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to TechCrunch\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

When reached by email, Oracle spokesperson Michael Egbert referred TechCrunch to its two<\/a> advisories<\/a> that it previously posted, and did not answer our questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Google said that the ransomware gang Clop was targeting companies after exploiting multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle\u2019s E-Business Suite software, which companies use for their business operations, storing their human resources files, and other sensitive data. <\/p>\n

The exploits allowed the hackers to steal customer business data and employee records from more than 100 companies, per Google.<\/p>\n

The hackers\u2019 campaign began in late September when corporate executives reported receiving extortion messages sent from email addresses previously associated with the Clop gang, claiming that the hackers had stolen large amounts of sensitive internal business data and employees\u2019 personal information from hacked Oracle systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anti-ransomware firm Halcyon told TechCrunch at the time that the hackers demanded one executive at an affected company to pay $50 million in a ransom payment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Clop claimed<\/a> on its website that it had hacked The Washington Post, claiming that the company \u201cignored their security,\u201d language that the Clop gang typically uses when the victim does not pay the hackers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for ransomware or extortion gangs like Clop to publicize the names and stolen files of their victims as a pressure tactic, which can suggest that the victim has not negotiated a payment with the gang, or the negotiation broke down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several other organizations have confirmed they are affected by the Oracle E-Business hacks, including Harvard University<\/a> and American Airlines subsidiary Envoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
