17 June 2026: ShinyHunters exploited an unauthenticated zero-day in Oracle PeopleSoft (CVSS 9.8) to breach 100+ organisations, 68% of them US universities.
Nottingham: ~455,000 student records dumped. Council of Europe (46 member states) confirmed breach — ~297 GB / 429,000 files including HR, payroll, salary, banking, tax data.
Oracle didn't publicly acknowledge in-the-wild exploitation until the patch landed 17 June.
