Hot Take:

Oh, the sweet irony! Okta, the single sign-on provider, got a taste of its own medicine when a cyberattack compromised its support system. It's like the locksmith getting locked out of his own house, or the chef burning his toast. It shows that even the security experts aren't immune to a good old-fashioned hack. But what's most amusing is how the hacker hijacked Okta sessions using browser log files the customers had shared with Okta's support staff. It's like leaving your keys under the doormat for the burglar. Let this be a lesson folks, no one's safe in the dark alleys of the digital world!
