Oracle Sues SAP for Spidering Their Support Site

TodoInSATX writes "Oracle has filed a lawsuit against SAP. Among the claims made against SAP are violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, Unfair Competition, Intentional and Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage and Civil Conspiracy. From the actual complaint: 'SAP has stolen thousands of proprietary, copyrighted software products and other confidential materials that Oracle developed to service its own support customers. SAP gained repeated and unauthorized access, in many cases by use of pretextual customer log-in credentials, to Oracle's proprietary, password-protected customer support website.'"

But Oracle is "Unbreakable"

How could Oracle's server have been compromised? I thought Oracle was "unbreakable"

It's not broken, just violated like Tiny Tim locked up in side a cell with Bubba.

Here's a copy of the article in case it gets slashdotted:

Oracle Sues SAP
On March 22, 2007, Oracle filed a lawsuit in U.S. Federal District Court in the Northern District of California against SAP. Among the claims made against SAP are violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, Unfair Competition, Intentional and Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage and Civil Conspiracy.

Yeah, that's the entire thing (except for the 44 page PDF of the actual suit). Glad I could make sure that everyone got that clear and concise summarization, and can now fairly and properly comment on it.

Cheers!

Could someone translate that to English, please? I can't read German.

Re:capitalization overload

It isn't. In proper German, it translates to something like "das Bundesgesetz zu Computermissbrauch und -betrug und das kalifornische Computerdatenzugriffs- und -betrugsgesetz, unlauterer Wettbewerb, vorsätzliche und fahrlässige Beeinflussung von voraussichtlichem wirtschaftlichen Gewinn und zivile Verschwörung". Even with umlauts!

US is #2 and they're getting their asses mopped by a couple ragheads? BAhaha. Iran would toaste them.

That's only because they deployed less than 25,000 troops there. The rest is middle management.
