Oracle Cloud experienced multiple cyber incidents, affecting legacy environments on servers belonging to “Oracle Cloud Classic” and Oracle Health. Up to 6 million records were compromised, and a ransom was demanded.

MITRE’s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program faced potential shutdown due to funding issues but received an 11-month contract extension from CISA.

Cyber attacks per organization globally increased by 47% compared to Q1 2024, with an average of 1,925 weekly incidents. Ransomware attacks saw a dramatic spike, reaching historic highs in victim counts and incident frequency.

The FBI reported record cybercrime losses of $16.6 billion, driven largely by fraud and investment scams. Russian military personnel were targeted via spyware, and the Netherlands exposed GRU-linked cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
