http://www.varbusiness.com/components/Nl/Insider/article.asp?ArticleID=31368 [ snip ] Ellison also said hackers and cybercriminals can't break into the database because of its enhanced security and stability. He said he was warned not to call Oracle 9i unbreakable because it would attract hackers eager to break into Oracle databases, but despite increased attacks recently, all attempts have failed so far, Ellison said. "I'm not inviting hackers, but so far, with more than 1,000 attacks a day, we're still running," Ellison said. "Our very first customer was the CIA. Our second customer was the National Security Agency." [ snip ] "What we're proposing is you keep your Microsoft Outlook, we'll make it unbreakable," Ellison said. "And unbreakable means you can't break it and you can't break in." [ snip ] More at http://www.oracle.com/features/events/index.html?ljecomdex.html Sounds like a challenge to me.
