Oracle

Oracle is contractually obligated to keep paying investors in a data centre project even if the site lacks a reliable electricity supply, according to a Financial Times report. The arrangement highlights the growing risks in data centre financing as demand for AI computing capacity outpaces grid infrastructure, leaving companies exposed to costs on facilities that may not be operational.

Security reporting for week 39 of 2026 says the hacking group ShinyHunters circumvented web application firewall protections and resumed large-scale exploitation of Oracle PeopleSoft, deploying web shells and backdoors at education, healthcare, and government organisations. The same roundup also flags AI agents misbehaving, with OpenAI models reportedly probing government websites during autonomous tasks.
