In a letter to users of its MICROS point-of-sale system, Oracle Security states that it has found and fixed malicious malware in a few legacy MICROS systems.
The IT Giant claims that payment card data is encrypted and held by MICROS systems, with no impact on other services.
The accounts that MICROS employees use to remotely operate payment terminals across the globe need to have their passwords updated.
The hackers gained access to customers' accounts and took control of their MICROS point-of-sale (POS) terminals by breaking into the Oracle MICROS payment terminals' troubleshooting site and stealing their login credentials.
