🛑 Oracle Health Breach: What IT Leaders Must Learn
Multiple U.S. hospitals are facing a nightmare: EHR data stolen from legacy Cerner servers still awaiting cloud migration.
🔐 Attack vector: Compromised customer credentials
⚠️ Impact: Multi-org data theft, extortion attempts, and HIPAA compliance chaos
🧾 Oracle told hospitals:
・They must notify patients
・They must assess HIPAA exposure
・Oracle won’t send official notifications—just paper memos
The response strategy—avoiding emails, no formal breach announcement—has left healthcare IT teams frustrated and exposed.
This incident reinforces the importance of:
・Decommissioning legacy systems
・Zero-trust access controls across shared vendor infrastructure
・Clear contractual breach notification roles
