This is Oracle's hosted solution (like Amazon RDS) and their software failed. The OP even mentioned how the backups of their wallet were empty and this was never flagged somehow. If this was something they ran locally, yet it'd probably be their fault. But this is a hosted solution with a major bug. I hope some Oracle people are searching through seeing how many other customers have this empty wallet bug, and fixing it now.

Thinking it through, if they find other wallets with this problem, I wonder what the fix is? They could generate a new key + wallet, which could probably then be made to work for the running instance. All the backups though, would probably need to be opened with the current (missing) key+wallet in order to re-encrypt them. Might be doable with the current key+wallet that's in memory, but also it might not be. eg might not be able to change the software on the running system, in which case ouch... places that need historical backups (eg for legal purposes) would be in bad place.
