GlobalLogic, a software development subsidiary of Hitachi, suffered a **data breach in July 2025** after hackers exploited a **zero-day vulnerability in Oracle’s E-Business Suite**, used for HR and financial management. The breach exposed **sensitive personal and financial data of 10,471 individuals**, including **names, Social Security numbers, bank details, salaries, passport info, tax identifiers, and emergency contacts**. The **Clop (Cl0p) ransomware gang** claimed responsibility, leveraging the same Oracle flaw to target multiple organizations. While GlobalLogic detected the breach in **October 2025**, the attackers had **unauthorized access since July 10, 2025**. The company offered **24 months of credit monitoring** but did not disclose ransom payments or attacker demands. Clop’s modus operandi involves **data theft and extortion**, threatening to leak or sell stolen information if ransoms remain unpaid. The breach highlights risks tied to **third-party software vulnerabilities** and the escalating threat of **ransomware-driven data extortion** in the tech sector.
