Do you remember when Larry Ellison, Oracle’s CEO, kept calling Oracle’s software unbreakable?
I have no idea if it really is or not, because as with most things, human engineering or error will be a bigger security risk than the software itself. I imagine oracle is running some kind of fancy pants mail server they make. I am sure it has great security, and I am sure they handle their private business with the utmost security.
Okay, I am kidding about that last part.
Why?
Because when Emad S**ed goes on his training trip this December 18th and returns on the 22nd, Oracle estimated the trip would cost $659. Flying from Houston to Chicago and back was 223.00 (lowest) all the way up to 321.66. The hotel was 436.00. Not bad for the Wyndham Drake Oakbrook Hotel. A little mean to make a guy go out of town until December 22nd, but maybe he will be picking up something nice on the magnificent mile for Mrs S**d.
And in case they aren’t checking their email - oops they can’t because they used my domain for the return address - so I will tell them now, Todd V******** wants to cancel his December 4th trip… oops again. Sorry guys, a little late. But here is a little trip tip for anyone flying flight United Airlines UA903 from Dulles to Denver on December 8th, Seat 39G is going to be empty…
So before anyone calls anything unbreakable, they might want to go over a few rules. #1 on the list, if I had my way, would be to not use a domain you do not own as a slug for the return address of your private emails. But hey, that’s just me, and unlike Larry En*****, I won’t be out of the office this Monday for the Minnkota Power Demo.
