Okta Data Breach Affects All Customer Support Users

Stolen data includes names, email addresses, and potentially more sensitive information, raising concerns about the company's security measures.

  • Okta, a major identity management firm, has revealed that a recent data breach was far more extensive than initially reported, affecting all users of its customer support system rather than the 1% initially claimed.
  • The stolen data includes names, email addresses, and in some cases, additional information such as phone numbers, company names, and job descriptions.
  • Okta has warned that the stolen information could be used to launch phishing or social engineering attacks, and has urged all customers to use multi-factor authentication.
  • The breach has raised concerns about Okta's security measures, given the company's role in managing sensitive data for multiple website logins for companies.
  • This is not the first security incident for Okta, which has been targeted by hackers multiple times in the past.
