Teraco Now Officers Access to Oracle Cloud via FastConnect – TechEconomy.ng


Teraco Data Environments, a leading provider of colocation data centres and interconnection in Africa and a current member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), has announced it will offer connectivity directly through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect at its Isando Campus for the Oracle Cloud Johannesburg Region.

Oracle customers are enabled to harness the power of Oracle Cloud locally, including Oracle Autonomous Database, to help enable them to unlock innovation and drive business growth.  ­­­­

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect, now also via Teraco ’s Africa Cloud Exchange, may potentially provide higher -bandwidth options and potentially more reliable and consistent networking experience compared to Internet-based connections. Some other potential benefits may include:

  • More consistent network performance and lower latency, compared with the public Internet
  • Near-seamless connectivity between the data centre and networks to OCI for demanding workloads and applications
  • Increased reliability, with a dedicated and pre-established path to OCI
  • Improved security because data traffic flows strictly over trusted endpoints in a secure data centre location
  • A relatively  easy and cost-effective way to set up hybrid and multi-cloud workloads
  • Near-seamless management of physical and virtual connections through a single portal

With OCI, customers benefit from best-in-class security, consistent high performance, simple predictable pricing, and the tools and expertise needed to bring any workload to the cloud relatively quickly and efficiently.

“Our direct connections to OCI builds upon our commitment to ensure that our clients have direct, secure access to the critical IT resources they need to drive business success,” said Jan Hnizdo, Teraco CEO. “The demand for Oracle Cloud in our market is a testament to its strength, and we are extremely pleased to be working closely with Oracle to accelerate their service delivery.”

OCI’s extensive network of the currently more than 70 FastConnect global and regional partners offer customers dedicated connectivity to Oracle Cloud regions and OCI services – providing customers with potentially one of…

New Pro-Ocean malware worms through Apache, Oracle, Redis servers


The financially-motivated Rocke hackers are using a new piece of cryptojacking malware called Pro-Ocean to target vulnerable instances of Apache ActiveMQ, Oracle WebLogic, and Redis.

The new malware is a step up from the previous threat used by the group in that it comes with self-spreading capabilities, blindly throwing exploits at discovered machines.

Hiding malicious activity

Rocke cryptojacking hackers have not changed their habit of attacking cloud applications and leverage known vulnerabilities to take control of unpatched Oracle WebLogic (CVE-2017-10271) and Apache ActiveMQ (CVE-2016-3088) servers. Unsecured Redis instances are also on the list.

Researchers at Palo Alto Networks analyzing the malware say it includes “new and improved rootkit and worm capabilities” that allow it to hide malicious activity and spread to unpatched software on the network.

To stay under the radar, Pro-Ocean uses LD_PRELOAD, a native Linux feature that forces binaries to prioritize the loading of specific libraries. The method is not new and is constantly seen in other malware.

The new part is that the developers took the rootkit capabilities further by implementing publicly available code that helps conceal malicious activity.

One example relates to the ‘open’ function of the ‘libc’ library, tasked with opening a file and returning its descriptor. The researchers discovered that the malicious code determines if a file needs to be hidden before calling ‘open.’

“If it determines that the file needs to be hidden, the malicious function will return a “No such file or directory” error, as if the file in question does not exist” – Palo Alto Networks

Crude self-spreading mechanism

The actors behind Pro-Ocean have also moved from manually exploiting victims to an unrefined automated process. A  Python script takes the infected machine’s public IP address using the ident.me service and then tries to infect all machines in the same 16-bit subnet.

There is no selection in the process and the attackers simply throw public exploits at the discovered hosts hoping that one of them sticks.

If there is successful exploitation,…
