As collector Jochen Raiß (1969-2022) scoured flea markets and antique stalls for the better part of three decades for snapshots, he began to notice a running theme. Over time, he amassed a trove of photos by anonymous photographers with an unusually high number of portraits of women posing in trees. Swiss newspaper Züricher Tagesanzeiger asked, “What are they all doing up there?” And German paper Der Spiegel posited that the arbor-climbing might be a “forgotten popular sport.” Whatever the reason, the mystery is nearly as fun as the photos.

A hardcover edition of Women in Trees from Hatje Cantz, published in German and English, follows two titles published in 2016 and 2017 that celebrate these quirky images. Find your copy on the publisher’s website.

Data theft and extortion group ShinyHunters claims to have exploited a critical Oracle PeopleSoft bug as a zero-day to compromise more than 100 organizations, including the University of Nottingham, across 300 vulnerable instances. A spokesperson for the cybercrime crew on Thursday told The Register that they exploited CVE-2026-35273 to break into the university’s PeopleSoft system and steal 40 GB of personal data and billing records belonging to hundreds of thousands of current and former students. ShinyHunters posted the UK university on its data leak site on Tuesday before publishing the stolen files later that same day, presumably because the school refused to pay the extortion demand. “University of Nottingham on our leak site is one of the first publicly confirmed incidents,” a ShinyHunters spokesperson told us. “We have only just started outreach to affected orgs and are actively looking to reach an agreement with affected orgs.” They didn’t say when they planned to post the other 100 or so claimed victims. PeopleSoft is a widely used enterprise software suite that large corporations and institutions use to manage their human resources, payroll and billing applications, supply chains, and student records. CVE-2026-35273 is a 9.8 CVSS-rated vulnerability that allows remote, unauthenticated attackers with network access via HTTP to compromise PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools and fully take over the platform. On Wednesday, a day after ShinyHunters leaked the school’s data, the University of Nottingham confirmed the breach and Oracle issued an out-of-band security alert. It’s unclear, however, if the software provider has issued a patch to fix the security flaw. The Register reached out to Oracle, and did not receive any response to our questions. Google-owned Mandiant Chief Technology Officer Charles Carmakal, in a brief LinkedIn post on Thursday, warned that PeopleSoft was one of two zero-day vulnerabilities “actively being exploited in the wild.” “Oracle released mitigations,” Carmakal wrote. “Patches should come soon.” The other zero-day, for the record, is this Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager vulnerability.®
