One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

What’s the difference between God and Larry Ellison?

God doesn’t think he’s Larry Ellison

What’s the difference between Oracle and the Boy Scouts?

The Boy Scouts are led by adults

@qImPMgxRpOZiUbxz4hWq but sure, let's just do everything important on the internet, and insist that everyone does the same. You know, I have to ask, wtf is wrong with people? Why does everything have to be online?

I say most things should not be facing the internet at all, health records and public utilities, for example. And Oracle? I hate them down to the core of my being, Larry Ellison and all the other Nazi scumbags. The internet is not made for security. AT ALL.

TBF, in this case the hack was on legacy Cerner infrastructure that Oracle acquired ~5 years ago.

From TFA:

attackers had targeted older Cerner servers before the data stored on them could be migrated to Oracle’s cloud storage service

What are the chances this was one of the 30,000 people laid off this year who was intimately familiar with these systems?

Article says those affected will receive a letter with “complimentary” 2 years of identity protection.

How nice.

Thank God Oracle is making this right. TWO years of anti theft protection!!!
