Oracle Corp

A recent data breach at&nbsp;Oracle Health&nbsp;has compromised sensitive patient information from multiple U.S. hospitals. The breach, involving legacy servers not yet migrated to Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) Cloud, was discovered in February.
What Happened:&nbsp;Oracle Health, formerly known as Cerner, provides&nbsp;Electronic Health Records (EHR) and&nbsp;business systems for healthcare organizations.
The breach occurred when a threat actor accessed servers using compromised credentials&nbsp;after Jan. 22, 2025, and&nbsp;transferred data to a remote location. This data potentially included patient records, according <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/oracle-health-breach-compromises-patient-data-at-us-hospitals/">to</a> a BleepingComputer report.
Although Oracle Health has not publicly acknowledged the breach, they have informed affected customers through private communications.
The company has stated it will assist in identifying impacted individuals and provide notification templates, but it is up to the hospitals to determine if HIPAA laws require patient notifications.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44508234/ontario-premier-doug-ford-supports-retaliatory-tariffs-amid-us-auto-levy-inflict-as-much-pain-as-possible">Ontario Premier Doug Ford Supports Retaliatory Tariffs Amid US Auto Levy: &#8216;Inflict As Much Pain As Possible&#8217;</a>
The report adds that Oracle Health&#8217;s communication regarding the breach has been criticized for lacking transparency.
Notifications were not on official letterhead, and customers were directed to communicate with the Chief Information Security Office by phone only.
Oracle Health has agreed to&nbsp;cover credit monitoring costs but will not send notifications on behalf of hospitals.
Oracle did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: This breach at Oracle Health is part of a broader trend of increasing cyberattacks targeting sensitive data.
In April,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/08/40228120/personal-data-of-almost-3-billion-people-revealed-in-hack-lawsuit-filed">a massive data breach</a>&nbsp;exposed personal information of nearly 3 billion individuals, leading to a class action lawsuit.
Similarly, in February 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43759346/massive-data-breach-exposes-americans-financial-details-names-card-numbers-pins-and-more-at-risk">NorthBay Healthcare Corporation</a>&nbsp;experienced a breach that exposed the personal, medical, and financial records of over 569,000 Americans.
The breach at Oracle Health underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures, especially as healthcare organizations increasingly rely on digital systems for storing sensitive patient information.

SoftBank Looks At Investing $1 Trillion For US AI Push With Robot-Run Industrial Parks

Oracle's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.58% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 22.67 million shares sold short, which is 1.37% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.61 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Oracle Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743187519_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Oracle has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Oracle's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Oracle's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.70%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Live On CNBC, Malcolm Ethridge Announces Bought More Palo Alto Networks, Bought More CrowdStrike, Bought More Spotify Technology, Bought More Oracle

Risk appetite is on track to end the week on a negative note. Investors continue to trim their equity exposure amid the threat of tariffs and a higher-than-expected increase in the Fed&#8217;s most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44535109/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-rises-more-than-expected-in-february-casting-doubt-on-near-term-rate-cuts">closely watched inflation metric.</a>
The latest data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index remained at a 2.5% year-over-year pace in February. Yet, the more telling core PCE measure, which strips out food and energy and is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, rose from an upwardly revised 2.7% in January to 2.8%, outpacing expectations.
The uptick in core inflation dealt a blow to investor hopes for near-term interest rate cuts, reinforcing the view that the Fed is in no rush to ease policy amid persistent price pressures. 
Adding to the jitters, earlier this week, Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on all foreign auto imports stirred fears of retaliatory trade measures and higher consumer prices.
Investors are now bracing for a potential announcement of "reciprocal tariffs" on April 2, which could further escalate trade tensions and pressure profit margins across multiple sectors.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives discusses the benefits for software companies from the AI spending phase.
In recent weeks, the analyst has been tracking enterprise AI spending in 2025, focusing on use cases and identifying leading vendors. AI now makes up about 12% of many IT budgets, up from 10% in January, with some CIOs accelerating their AI strategies.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips and cloud providers are central to AI deployments, and for every $1 spent on Nvidia, there is an $8-$10 impact across the broader tech ecosystem.
Around 70% of companies have increased their AI budgets, signaling rapid tech spending despite economic uncertainties.

The analyst has been tracking AI adoption across industries like financial services, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing.
Many IT departments are focusing on large-scale AI deployments with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet Inc&#8216;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), targeting software-driven use cases.
While customers were still in the strategy phase in late 2024, there is a shift in recent weeks, with high-priority AI use cases now being rapidly implemented across various sectors in 2025. Amid the widespread buzz in the software industry about monetizing AI, a select group of companies is beginning to stand out from the crowd.
The software sector is poised for significant growth as the AI Revolution accelerates, with the adoption of generative AI and LLM models becoming key drivers.
The analyst sees Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) and Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) as top software plays amid the AI Revolution for 2025, with other vendors like Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Elastic N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>), MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>) and Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEGA#NASDAQ">PEGA</a>) also well-positioned.
IBM&#8217;s cloud penetration has been particularly successful, presenting a major monetization opportunity. Despite investor skepticism, the analyst said the accelerating AI adoption in enterprises will benefit the software industry in 2025. The analyst also added IBM to the Wedbush Best Ideas List, reflecting higher confidence.

Democratic Senators Ask White House To Seek Authority From Congress To Extend Tiktok Sale Deadline

Oracle Cloud&nbsp;is suspected to have suffered a significant cyberattack, leading to the theft of 6 million records. These records are reportedly being sold by a hacker. Oracle, however, has firmly denied any such breach.
What Happened:&nbsp;A hacker going by the pseudonym "rose87168" is purportedly selling 6 million records stolen from Oracle&#8217;s systems. This claim was initially brought to light by a cybersecurity firm,&nbsp;CloudSEK, based out of India&#8217;s Bengaluru. The firm also called it the &#8216;Biggest supply chain attack of 2025&#8217;
Oracle has staunchly refuted these allegations, and <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/oracle-denies-data-breach-after-hacker-claims-theft-of-6-million-data-records/">told</a> the Bleeping Computer that none of its Cloud customers have been affected and that the leaked credentials do not pertain to Oracle Cloud.
Despite Oracle&#8217;s denial, cybersecurity experts advise businesses using Oracle services to implement preventive measures to safeguard their sensitive data. As per CloudSEK&#8217;s report, this could potentially be the largest supply chain hack of 2025, targeting Oracle Cloud and&nbsp;impacting more than 140,000 tenants across&nbsp;various sectors and regions. 
The breach was reportedly linked to the login endpoint login.(region-name).oraclecloud.com, exposing a dataset that included Java KeyStore (JKS) files, encrypted SSO passwords, key files, and Enterprise Manager JPS keys.
Since January 2025, the hacker has been selling sensitive data, attempting to decrypt stolen credentials, and extorting companies for data deletion fees. As perCloudSEK, the hacker also created an X page to broaden their reach by following Oracle-related accounts and tracking their targets.

Why It Matters: The reported exposure of 6 million records presents major risks for organizations, including large-scale data breaches, corporate espionage and unauthorized access. Decrypted SSO and LDAP passwords could allow attackers to infiltrate Oracle Cloud environments and exploit supply chain vulnerabilities by targeting interconnected systems.
Businesses face high stakes as the hacker "rose87168" pressures over 140,000 tenants with extortion demands, using an X page to amplify threats and target Oracle-related accounts. This incident follows a trend of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43692893/chinese-hacker-group-salt-typhoon-expands-global-telecom-exploits-targets-cisco-routers"> increased cyberattacks</a>, such as the exploits by the Chinese hacker group, Salt Typhoon on Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>).

'U.S. Investors In ByteDance Explore TikTok Deal To Appease Donald Trump' - Financial Times

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang and Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) CEO Chuck Robbins described unprecedented global enthusiasm for artificial intelligence development, with national leaders recognizing AI as a strategic priority.
What Happened: &#8220;In no initiative and no foundational technology that I&#8217;ve ever known since the internet has the world and the leaders realized the importance of artificial intelligence to them,&#8221; Huang said, in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/20/nvidia-ceo-and-cisco-ceo-discuss-the-global-outlook-on-the-ai-arms-race.html">interview</a> with CNBC. 
Robbins expressed confidence in the President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s commitment to maintaining American AI dominance despite concerns about potential tariff impacts on semiconductor imports. 
&#8220;Based on the conversations I&#8217;ve had with the administration&#8230;they want to protect that lead, and they want us to win,&#8221; Robbins said. &#8220;I believe that their policies that they&#8217;re going to implement will ensure that happens.&#8221;
The comments come amid intensifying U.S.-China competition in AI development. The Trump administration recently backed &#8220;Stargate,&#8221; a $500 billion private-sector initiative involving OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle Corp. to build massive data centers in Texas, while simultaneously facing competition from Chinese firms like DeepSeek that are making technological advances despite U.S. export <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43420092/as-easy-as-it-can-be-trump-promises-ai-giants-support-with-500b-investment-plan-how-does-it-compare-with-deepseek">controls on advanced semiconductors</a>.

Why It Matters: The administration is also reviewing AI regulatory approaches following <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44300525/sam-altmans-openai-urges-trump-administration-for-rapid-ai-advancement-and-reduced-regulation">proposals from companies like OpenAI</a>, which has urged reduced regulation and highlighted potential threats from Chinese AI technology. High-level meetings between tech executives and Trump have included Michael Dell of Dell Technologies Inc., which projects its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44269039/michael-dell-joins-trump-elon-musk-for-high-stakes-ai-talks-as-dell-eyes-15-billion-in-server-business">AI server business</a> to reach $15 billion in fiscal year 2026.
Cisco and Nvidia announced a partnership to deliver AI technology to enterprises with new infrastructure. According to Huang, AI has &#8220;reinvented the entire computing stack&#8221; and requires a complete overhaul of enterprise systems. &#8220;We need to go and rerack the whole world&#8217;s companies,&#8221; Huang said.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Cisco's Chuck Robbins Tout AI's Global Impact: Trump 'Want Us To Win'

The future of telecommunications is now and investors are paying attention. With NVIDIA&#8217;s recent foray into AI-native 6G networks, the world is changing fast and there are huge opportunities for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">telecom, AI, and semiconductor ETFs</a>.
Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski thinks this revolution is only just starting. &#8220;Telecom companies that want to stay competitive will need to invest in AI-powered networks, partner with AI tech leaders and upgrade to cutting-edge semiconductor technology. That's exactly why we built the Defiance Connective Technologies ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIXG#NASDAQ">SIXG</a>) to capture this AI-driven telecom revolution,&#8221; she told Benzinga.
Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-and-telecom-industry-leaders-to-develop-ai-native-wireless-networks-for-6g">deals </a>with T-Mobile Us Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), MITRE, Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), ODC, and Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>) that were announced in the GTC 2025 are a significant step forward in AI-powered telecommunications. Nvidia is taking the lead in the deployment of AI in wireless network hardware, software and infrastructure, paving the way for new-gen connectivity.
For investors, this transition offers attractive opportunities. The need for AI-driven networking chips, cloud computing infrastructure, telecom software and cybersecurity is likely going to boom. Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, Oracle Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>), Cisco Systems, Ericsson and Nokia Oyj (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) are likely to gain. Naturally, ETFs holding stocks of these companies are seeing an upside potential, too.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs That Stand To Gain</h1>
Jablonski points out that ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies provide exposure to these leaders, enabling investors to be part of the revolution in telecom networks.
Outside of that ETF, a number of other ETFs stand to gain from Nvidia&#8217;s and the telecom sector&#8217;s AI-led transformation:
• Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) targets AI-led innovation across sectors, such as cloud computing and telecommunications. 
• VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) contains top semiconductor players such as Nvidia, Broadcom and Qualcomm that form the backbone of AI-driven networking. 
• iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#BATS">IYZ</a>) offers exposure to large telecom companies such as Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) and T-Mobile. 
• ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) contains firms utilizing AI-based connectivity for automation and future mobility. 
• First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) also covers cybersecurity companies such as Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), which will be instrumental in protecting <a href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/platform/">AI-native</a> 6G <a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2024/11/a-security-first-approach-to-6g/#:~:text=Next%20Steps,development%20and%20deployment%20of%206G.">networks</a>.
The actual impact of AI-enabled 6G is much greater than the telecommunications sector. From health and finance to manufacturing and self-driving cars, AI-enhanced networks will bring efficiency, security and performance to many different industries. 
Jablonski noted, &#8220;AI-integrated telecom networks will boost productivity and connectivity across several industries: healthcare – enabling remote surgeries, real-time diagnostics and telemedicine; finance, strengthening cybersecurity for transactions and real-time market analysis; manufacturing, enhancing automation and predictive maintenance and autonomous vehicles, powering AI-native Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication.&#8221;
The financial benefit won&#8217;t directly touch consumers&#8217; wallets. &#8220;In the short term, telecom companies will likely use AI-driven efficiency to increase their profits as they recover infrastructure investment costs. Over time, as AI optimizes network operations, consumers could see more competitive pricing and improved services — similar to how cloud services have evolved.&#8221; 
In the long run, with AI optimizing network operations, customers may experience more competitive rates and better services.
But, AI-driven networks may create a divide between telecom and tech giants. &#8220;Companies like AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are expanding into telecom with AI-driven cloud services. Traditional telecom providers that fail to adapt may struggle to compete with these tech-driven companies,&#8221; she noted.
Nvidia&#8217;s AI-native 6G project is a game-changer and the investment environment is changing rapidly. With partnerships that range from telecom behemoths to cloud and cybersecurity companies, the argument for ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies ETF and Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>) has never been more compelling. As AI-powered networks redefine connectivity, investors can seize the opportunity to ride the future of telecommunications technology.
