A major cybersecurity incident has struck Logitech, the Swiss-American computer peripherals manufacturer, following revelations that the Clop ransomware group successfully exposed corporate data during a broad exploitation campaign. The attackers reportedly leveraged a now-patched zero-day vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) to compromise companies. Logitech has now confirmed its systems were among those breached.
Clop Targeted Oracle Systems to Exfiltrate Corporate Data
Clop exploited known Oracle EBS vulnerability during its cyberattack spree
The Clop ransomware gang, associated with large-scale extortion campaigns, claimed responsibility for a wave of attacks in November 2025 in which it exploited a vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite. Oracle issued a patch for this vulnerability in October, tracked as CVE-2025-61882. When unpatched, it allowed unauthenticated remote attackers to compromise Oracle systems via a web-accessible interface.
During the attack wave, Clop utilized this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL queries, ultimately exfiltrating sensitive corporate data from affected systems. According to security researchers, the group did not deploy ransomware in these instances but instead stole data and attempted to extort the victims.
These operations follow a growing trend among threat actors who aim to avoid detection by refraining from encrypting systems and turning to pure data-theft extortion tactics. Attackers leveraging zero-days or known but unpatched software vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-61882 can achieve deep access without triggering standard antivirus or endpoint detection software.
Logitech Confirms Data Exposure but Says No Operational Disruption
Logitech says some corporate data was accessed but systems remain secure
Following initial claims by Clop and investigative findings by cybersecurity researchers, Logitech confirmed it was affected by the November campaign. A company spokesperson acknowledged that some corporate data had been accessed without authorization, but emphasized that there had been no disruption to their operations or impact on customer-facing systems.
Logitech did not provide detailed information on the specific data accessed but indicated that no consumer data was involved. Clop had listed Logitech among dozens of companies affected by the Oracle E-Business Suite vulnerability in its dark web extortion site in late November.
The incident underscores ongoing issues with supply chain risks and third-party services, as the attack did not target Logitech’s systems directly but rather exploited a vulnerability in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform it used.
Clop Continues to Shift Toward Extortion-Based Tactics
Extortion without encryption remains a preferred method for Clop operators
Clop’s involvement in this attack campaign is part of a broader shift in its tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The group has increasingly adopted a model of compromising large enterprise software platforms to access data-rich environments and bypass traditional endpoint protections.
Instead of deploying ransomware to encrypt files, Clop now often focuses solely on exfiltrating valuable business data. By listing victim organizations on its extortion site, the group exerts pressure for payment, banking on the reputational and regulatory fallout victims may suffer from exposure.
Previous Clop campaigns targeted Accellion’s legacy File Transfer Appliance (FTA), while more recent operations exploited GoAnywhere MFT vulnerabilities. Its attack on MOVEit Transfer became one of the most widespread file transfer software breaches to date, impacting hundreds of organizations worldwide — further establishing its focus on enterprise-grade vulnerabilities.
Incident Reinforces the Critical Need for Patch Management
Unpatched Oracle vulnerability enabled widespread compromise
The Logitech incident once again demonstrates the severe consequences of failing to apply security patches in a timely manner. Oracle released a fix for the exploited vulnerability well over a year before the attacks occurred, yet several companies — including Logitech — had systems still vulnerable.
Security professionals recommend the following actions:
- Regular review and prioritization of software patching, especially for internet-facing applications like ERP systems
- Routine penetration testing to identify and remediate forgotten or vulnerable systems
- Minimization of third-party and vendor-platform attack surfaces through network segmentation and access controls
For organizations using Oracle EBS, it is vital to conduct a full audit to confirm all relevant patches are applied and assess exposure to similar attack vectors.
A Cautionary Tale of ERP Vulnerabilities
Logitech’s data breach highlights the lingering risks posed by unpatched enterprise software. While customer data appears to be unaffected, the incident reinforces how threat actors like Clop leverage publicly known but unremediated flaws to infiltrate well-defended corporate environments.
As ransomware groups increasingly prioritize extortion over sabotage, the burden on defenders to maintain visibility across complex software ecosystems continues to grow. Logitech’s experience serves as both a warning and a call to action for organizations utilizing large-scale ERP platforms like Oracle E-Business Suite.
