Ah, another notch in the belt for Larry Elison's Oracle data security scandals.

Matches Larry's other political and societal scandals.

Tangential, but there’s an old interview with Ellison where he said that Amazon would never be able to get off of Oracle DB because it’s too critical a piece of software. This was in response to Amazon announcing it was something they had planned.

Amazon got it done ahead of schedule and there’s a video of them popping champagne to celebrate when they shut the last server down.

I’m not a big Amazon fan, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Larry Ellison hasn't been CEO for over a decade.
