Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale
derpgon@programming.dev 3 days agoI wonder how many of those companies - that are stuck with Oracle due to legacy software - have just too many keys to reroll that they just won’t do it. Mainly due to everything being a manual process.

At least we’re constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.
Depending on the system you’re working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the “problematic” systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.
So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in “my” systems… I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there’s always something that doesn’t go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well… Good luck. You’ll need it.
