Re: Security Attack

Greetings Lothar !

  I am not personally aware of news articles or blogs providing that level of detail of ransomware events.

  The ransomware events I am aware of, have only been via Microsoft platforms. Because Oracle Databases can run on Microsoft platforms, depending on the attack vectors, it's conceivable to me that datafiles *could* become victims.

   I would also expect, once an Oracle File ( data, temp, control, online log, etc) was encrypted, the alert log would begin to log errors, and depending on which files, potentially crash the database.

  Additionally, because it is possible to access storage typically accessed by NFS services, any file systems mounted to Microsoft platforms with write access are at risk as well.

  I am not aware of ransomware attacks upon *nix platforms, but I expect they do exist.
