A hacker group known as the Carbanak Gang (referred to by Krebs as "a Russian organized cybercrime group" accused of stealing more than $ 1 billion from banks and retailers in recent years) is believed to be responsible for the breach.

Oracle acknowledged the hack, stating that it was “detected malicious ς σε ορισμένα συστήματα της Micros” και ζήτησε από τους πελάτες της να αλλάξουν τους κωδικούς πρόσβασης που συνδέονται με τα MICROS -of-sale.

Investigators believe the breach began on a single system internally of Oracle, and spread through a Micros "ticket portal" that for customer assistance.

From there, hackers managed to steal user names and passwords from Micros users when they were logged on to the Web portal to check the answer bills or to manage their accounts.

It is not known how this particular hack can affect it. The most likely scenario is that hackers gained access to Micros, to put at the point-of-sale and steal credit card information.

Oracle is still investigating the violation but has not yet announced how deeply the hackers have reached.
