  "account": "A cyberattack on Oracle Health in 2025 compromised the personal data of nearly 20 million individuals, according to a Texas attorney general's report cited by Bloomberg. The stolen information encompassed Social Security numbers, addresses, and medical records. Oracle disclosed the breach to investigators after the cybercriminal accessed two outdated Cerner servers and copied patient data before migrating it to Oracle's cloud storage. The attack originated from compromised customer credentials, as revealed by cybersecurity firm CyPro. Oracle Health, a division of Oracle, acquired Cerner for $28.3 billion in 2022. The exact affected healthcare providers remain unspecified. Of the nearly 20 million people affected, 3 million were from Texas. Christus Health and Tri-City Medical Center, both in Texas, disclosed that the stolen data could include names, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, medications, and test results. These institutions informed affected patients and offered complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services. At least 29 hospital and health systems announced being affected by the breach. This incident underscores the risks posed by legacy infrastructure during cloud migration, according to CyPro founder Rob McBride.",
