Okta explains hack source and response timeline

Okta's security head, David Bradbury, attributes a recent hack to an internal lapse where an employee signed into their personal Google account on a work laptop, inadvertently saving the username and password of the service account. Okta discovered the compromised account two weeks after being notified by OnePassword and Cloudflare, attributing the delay to the inability to identify suspicious downloads in logs. The incident highlights the need for better security measures and vigilant monitoring to prevent such breaches.
