Hot Take:

Well, well, well... if it isn't our old friend Okta, the security firm that promises to keep us all safe online, admitting that they've had a data breach. Not just any data breach, mind you, but one that affects 134 customers, including big names like 1Password, BeyondTrust, and Cloudflare. Oh, and did we mention it was an inside job? An employee signed into their personal Google account on an Okta-managed laptop. Classic case of "do as I say, not as I do," eh?
