On a seemingly normal Friday, Okta, an identity services provider, disclosed a new security incident painting the day with a rouge tint of alarm. Much like how none of us expect to find our keys in the fridge, Okta was shocked to find unidentified threat actors accessing their support case management system.
More interesting than any plot twist in a sci-fi movie, Okta’s chief security officer, David Bradbury, revealed that these cyber-intruders managed to view files uploaded by some customers. But, just like a dad refusing to ask for directions, Bradbury opted to reassure that the Okta identity management system didn’t show signs of compromise despite the threat actor having the tour.
Now, if this feels like déjà vu, you’re not entirely wrong. This incident, however, is as related to the breach in January as oil is to water. Previously, an equally pesky, yet separate, cyber-sneak tried to sell Okta’s leaked source code. This might tell us that Okta is popular in the cyber-underworld, but hey, at least it’s popular!
In the never-ending plot of “The Cyberspace Chronicles”, Okta faced a new security incident where an unidentified threat actor managed to access its support case management system using stolen credentials. Intriguingly, these villains were able to view customer files from recent support cases. But, like a cat with nine lives, Okta’s identity management system remains unhampered, according to Chief Security Officer David Bradbury. And while this might cause a shiver of familiarity running down your spine, rest assured — it’s a separate incident from the January breach where a different cyber-criminal tried to sell Okta’s leaked source code. So there you have it, the tale of Okta’s ongoing adventure in the cyber wilderness.
