Oracle UK systems accused in 'SSH hacking spree' - By John Leyden
"Compromised computers at Oracle UK are listed among the 10 worst offenders on the net for launching attacks on servers which run SSH (secure shell) server software.
Oracle said it is investigating the reported problem, which it is yet to either confirm or refute.
A box (or group of boxes behind a proxy) at Oracle UK is among the worst offenders for launching attacks, according to statistics from servers running DenyHosts software to block SSH brute-force password attacks."
