Lapsus Okta hack: T-Mobile, FCC and thousands of businesses on high alert
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lapsus Okta hack details revealed. According to Reuters, an authentication firm used by thousands of organizations across the world, it is looking into reports of a possible breach. The leak follows a posting on Lapsus$’s Telegram channel showing purported screenshots of Okta’s internal systems, including one that appears to show Okta’s Slack groups and another with a Cloudflare interface.

If a hacker were to compromise Okta, it could have significant consequences for the businesses, universities, and government institutions that rely on Okta to authenticate user access to internal systems.

Lapsus$ claimed to have had “Superuser/Admin” access to Okta’s systems for two months, according to its Telegram channel, but it said its attention was solely on Okta customers. The Wall Street Journal reports that Okta has over 15,000 clients around the world, including Peloton, Sonos, T-Mobile, and the FCC.

“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. We believe the screenshots shared online are connected to this January event.”
