Alphabet’s Google has issued a warning about a wave of extortion emails targeting an unspecified number of executives. Hackers claim to have stolen sensitive data from Oracle E-Business Suite applications. The emails, reportedly sent by a group affiliated with the notorious cl0p ransomware gang, demand payment to prevent the release of the alleged stolen data.

In a statement, Google noted, “We are aware of a high-volume email campaign targeting executives at numerous organisations. The emails claim to have compromised their Oracle E-Business Suite data.” However, the company emphasised that it lacks sufficient evidence to confirm the validity of these claims. They urge caution among affected parties.

Google described the campaign as widespread but provided no specific details on the number of targeted executives or organisations. Efforts to reach cl0p and Oracle for comment were unsuccessful. This leaves questions about the scope and legitimacy of the alleged breach.

The cl0p gang, known for high-profile ransomware attacks, has previously exploited vulnerabilities in enterprise software to access sensitive data. Oracle E-Business Suite, a widely used platform for managing business operations, could be a prime target if vulnerabilities are confirmed.

This incident underscores the growing risks of cyberattacks targeting corporate leaders. Extortion emails often leverage fear and uncertainty, pressuring recipients into quick payments. Google’s advisory highlights the importance of verifying such claims before taking action.
