Hot Take:

Well, this is a classic case of "Oops, I did it again!" by our very own Britney Spears of cybersecurity, Okta. They've played with our hearts, got lost in the game, and now they're saying, "Oh, baby, baby, it was an employee's mistake!" It's a bumpy ride for sure, but at least we're all still belted in. A case of misplaced trust in Google and an employee's penchant for convenience has led to all this drama. Cue dramatic sigh.
