That's interesting...

...whatever happened to 'Unbreakable' Oracle.

Reality check

Their boasting has come back to haunt them. They made false claims about their "unbreakability" based on a foolish assumption that their code was solid but failed to actually check their code for common vulnerabilities before they started their boasting.

The 250 fixes being released this quarter though show that they've gotten over their complancency and are getting serious about addressing the problems.

ONLY 65 holes?

For a high profiled company based around security, 65 holes seems rather extreme. Large comapnies lately have done a poor job at keeping their customer databases to themselves (CitiBank etc.) and if Oracle didn't fix this so soon, it could have caused even more major problems.

If large companies can rid themselves of these major vulnerabilities, customers can stop worrying about their information within online coorporations.
