I'm surprised why Berkley didn't use BSD. This sounds like a Winders box that was compromised. I get SNORT log entries on a daily basis for SQL exploits on my Linux machine.

Man, this article went out of the way to not mention that this hack was through the Oracle software that was purchased via no-bid by Gray Davis prior to his recall...

Paging John Edwards, class action law suit alert.
If anything happens to anyone on the list. Sorry for the citizens of California but confidentiality has been broken. I used to make homevists to people who used supportive services. They are the truly vunerable. Sloppy records security.

How much would you like to bet every one of these elderly and disabled people who's ID was in the database votes a straight Democratic ticket come election day?

Oracle is the Database System of choice among California state agencies, thanks to Former governor Davis... It would be a safe bet that the college was using the same database, but it is currently just a guess on my part.

OH. I did not know that. I wasn't aware of any exploits for Oracle newer than 9i. Now ifs its 7 or 8, then yeah, there are BIG holes in those revisions.
