Digital Irony Strikes Again: When Cybersecurity Giants Get Hacked, and Why Your Password Shouldn’t be ‘Password123’

When it comes to digital irony, the Okta Support System Breach takes the cake. It’s like a locksmith locked out of his house! With 1Password joining BeyondTrust and Cloudflare on the victims’ list, it’s a wild party nobody wanted an invite to. If this doesn’t make you rethink ‘password123’, I’m not sure what will.

Hot Take:

When you're a cybersecurity company and you get hacked, it's a bit like a locksmith getting locked out of his own house. In this story of digital irony, Okta, the security company, got a taste of its own medicine when its support system faced a cyberattack. Now, 1Password joins the list of victims, along with BeyondTrust and Cloudflare, like guests showing up uninvited to a party. If this doesn't make you reset your password from 'password123', I don't know what will.
