Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale

The number of clients I’ve worked with who are “stuck” with Oracle passes the 50% mark and I’m just one person.

One company said that Oracle offered them a de-obfuscation tool to migrate elsewhere for a mere $2M. Absurd.

Fuck Oracle.

Uh, what, you can’t just pull your data and move elsewhere?

  Oracle is not a tech company it’s a racket run by an army of lawyers.

In that market, it might be a decent deal.

  Maybe in some cases. This particular company at the time had revenue of $5M, with a much lower net, so $2M want even feasible.

    They’re probably not a very good candidate to be an Oracle client either. They typically target larger accounts. Shame to end up stuck like that.
