Non-Oracle sites offering Oracle ‘Fixes’/Malware

Oracle put out a press release, it reads:

Warning

It has come to our attention that there are non-Oracle sites offering Oracle ‘fixes’ for genuine Oracle error messages.

You probably already don’t need to be told, however:

Please do not download these fixes as

  • They are not authorized by us in any way and
  • They are more than likely to be dangerous to your system

If you do encounter one of these sites please create a SR and we will rectify the situation.

“We’ve seen lots of industries targeted in the last year or two. Sounds like the bad guys have done some SEO work to lure potential victims to legit-looking sites that offer ‘patches’.”
