Okta’s Data Breach Party: When Uninvited Guests Crash the Cybersecurity Scene
Okta’s cyber shindig turned into a data breach blowout, inviting more guests than anticipated. Initially, 134 customers thought they were the only ones on the guest list. In a shocking twist, the full VIP list surfaced, marking an unexpected expansion of the Okta Data Breach Impact. The party favor? Personal data parading on the dark web. Yikes!
Hot Take:
Okta, the identity and access management company, just threw a cyber party and everyone's invited! Well, at least, it seems that way with the size of their recent data breach. This is one of those cases where "the more, the merrier" doesn't exactly apply. Initially, Okta thought the party was quite exclusive, with only 134 of its customers being affected. Then they realized that the attackers had in fact, accessed the full VIP list. The result? A whole lot of personal data, including full names and email addresses, got an unexpected invite to the dark web. Oh, and many of the victims were administrators who didn't even have multi-factor authentication enabled. Yikes!Already a member? Log in here
