Ransomware group LAPSUS$ has claimed to have breached the internal systems of cloud-based authentication software provider Okta.
The breach was first flagged on Twitter by Bill Demirkapi, a senior security engineer at video conferencing company Zoom, at 8:15pm Pacific Time on Monday night.
According to the LAPSUS$ screenshots, taken from the secure messaging service Telegram and posted online by Demirkapi and others, the ransomware group said it did not target Okta’s databases, instead focusing on Okta customers. It also showed possible superuser access, and screenshots of Okta’s internal Jira and Slack instances.
