Okta
In what may turn out to be the most impactful hack that the gang has executed, LAPSUS$ breached identity verification firm Okta. The gang recently posted screenshots on its Telegram page that appeared to show it had access to a number of the authentication software company’s systems.
The fact that Okta’s software is used to secure thousands of organizations has obviously inspired substantial security concerns.
Okta has confirmed that it was hacked, and, in a call with reporters on Wednesday, it further admitted that “approximately 2.5%” of its customers, or potentially some 366 companies, had possibly “been impacted” by the attack. What that means for those companies’ data is unknown at this point but, uh…yeah, it’s potentially not good.
