Documents shed some light on how Okta and its subprocessor Sitel reacted to a breach, but they don’t explain the apparent lack of urgency.

Microsoft and identity management platform Okta both this week disclosed breaches involving LAPSUS$, a relatively new cybercrime group that specializes in stealing data from big companies and threatening to publish it unless a ransom demand is paid. Here’s a closer look at LAPSUS$, and some of the low-tech but high-impact methods the group uses to gain access to targeted organizations.

La société affirme qu'un "petit pourcentage" de clients, 2,5 %, aurait pu voir ses données consultées ou faire l'objet d'une action de la part des pirates spécialisés dans le ransomware.

This update was posted at 6:31 PM, Pacific Time. As we shared earlier today, we are conducting a thorough investigation into the recent LAPSUS$ claims and any impact on our valued customers. The Okta service is fully operational, and there are no corrective actions our customers need to take.

Le groupe cybercriminel LAPSUS$ a publié des captures d'écran montrant ce qu'il prétend être des éléments de l'environnement informatique interne de l'entreprise.
