Parexel employee data exposure from Oracle E-Business Suite zero-day

Yes — Parexel International, LLC notified individuals after a third-party Oracle cloud incident. Consumer / regulator letters state Parexel detected suspicious activity on October 4, 2025 in a portion of its Oracle OCI E-Business Suite environment hosted by Oracle. Investigation tied the activity to a zero-day Oracle announced October 5, 2025. Parexel says the incident was limited to the vendor environment and that Parexel’s own network was not compromised.

The Texas Attorney General portal lists 1,203 Texans affected (published December 17, 2025), with U.S. Mail notice, covering names, DOB, SSNs / national IDs, and financial / payment-card numbers (without CVV) provided in connection with employment.

This post is the Texas-specific Parexel notice, not a national Oracle MDL roundup. Neville v. Parexel (1:26-cv-00873, W.D. Tex, filed April 8, 2026) was later administratively closed and consolidated into In re Oracle Corporation Data Breach Litigation (1:25-cv-01805).
