The system Micros της Oracle, που μάλλον έχετε χρησιμοποιήσει και εσείς για να πληρώσετε κάτι μέσω χρεωστικής ή πιστωτικής κάρτας παραβιάστηκε.
At present, it is not yet known how big the data is, but a source told the researcher Krebs journalist that 700 systems may have been affected.
A hacker group known as the Carbanak Gang (referred to by Krebs as “a Russian organized cyber crime group” as it has been accused of stealing over $1 billion from banks andconditions retail over the past few years) is believed to be responsible for the breach.
Oracle acknowledged the hack, saying "malicious code was detected on some Micros systems" and asked its customers to change their codeς access connected to the MICROS point-of-sale.
The researchers πιστεύουν ότι η παράβαση ξεκίνησε σε ένα ενιαίο σύστημα στο εσωτερικό δίκτυο της Oracle, και διαδόθηκε μέσω μιας “πύλης εισιτηρίων» της Micros που χρησιμοποιείται για την βοήθεια των πελατών.
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 it can affect this hack. The most likely scenario is that hackers have gained access to the micros to put point-of-sale malware and steal credit card information.
Oracle is still investigating the violation but has not yet announced how deeply the hackers have reached.
