JAKARTA The Washington Post confirmed that they were among the victims in a major cyberattack related to Oracle's software. The official statement was released on Thursday 6 November, stating that the incident was related to a "violence on the Oracle E-Business Suite platform."

Although it did not provide further details, the announcement came shortly after the well-known ransomware group CL0P claimed through their website that the Washington Post was included in its list of victims. When contacted, CL0P did not respond to a request for comment.

Oracle itself referred Reuters to two security advisers published last month in response to the incident.

Hackers demanding ransom usually publish their list of victims openly to put pressure on victims to pay. CL0P is known as one of the most active cyber gangs in the world and is suspected of being the mastermind behind a major criminal campaign targeting the Oracle E-Business Suite a system that many companies use to manage customers, suppliers, manufacturing, logistics, and other business processes.

Google previously warned that more than 100 companies may have been affected by this breach, signaling a very broad attack scale and its potentially serious impact on the global business ecosystem.

This case adds to a long list of cyberattacks against media institutions and major companies in recent years, emphasizing that even organizations with strong security systems are not immune to the growing digital threat.
