Okta confirms Lapsus$ data breach

The notorious hacker group Lapsus$ claimed that they managed to steal customers’ data from Okta. The company’s chief security officer David Bradbury published a post about the incident. Bradbury stated that the investigations showed that approximately 2.5% of the customers have potentially been impacted and whose data may have been viewed or acted upon.

In late January 2022, Okta detected an attempt to compromise the account of a third party customer support engineer working for one of our subprocessors. The matter was investigated and contained by the subprocessor. (1 of 2)
