ShinyHunters is actively extorting universities after exploiting an unpatched Oracle flaw

By Matt Kapko

AI Summary

ShinyHunters is extorting universities after exploiting an unpatched Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day (CVE-2026-35273) that Oracle had still not formally patched as of publication. The campaign, active since late May, targets higher education institutions and underscores the risk of unpatched ERP systems exposed to the internet. Security teams at universities should audit PeopleSoft exposure immediately given Oracle's delayed public response.
