Why Okta Hack is a Big Deal: What You Need to Know

LAPSUS$, a ransomware gang, announced that they had superuser access to Okta. To prove their unfettered access to Okta’s backend, they published a bunch of screenshots on their Telegram channel. The screenshots show that hackers gained access to Okta.com backend and several SaaS providers, like Jira and Salesforce, that Okta uses to run their services. Let me back up a little bit. Okta is a San Francisco-based identity and access management provider. They offer services like Single Sign-On or SSO and Multi-factor Authentication or MFA to thousands of enterprise customers. They are a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for IAM with over 30% market share. They compete with the likes of Microsoft, Ping Identity and OneLogin.

Okta is a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) approved identity vendor.
