Lapsus$ found a spreadsheet of passwords as they breached Okta, documents show

Posted on March 28, 2022 by Dissent

Zack Whittaker reports on the Sitel compromise after not previously disclosed documents were obtained by independent security researcher Bill Demirkapi:

The Lapsus$ hackers used compromised credentials to break into the network of customer service giant Sitel in January, days before subsequently accessing the internal systems of authentication giant Okta, according to documents seen by TechCrunch that provide new details of the cyber intrusion that have not yet been reported.

Customers only learned of Okta’s January security breach on March 22 after the Lapsus$ hacking group published screenshots revealing it had accessed Okta’s internal apps and systems some two months earlier. Okta admitted the compromise in a blog post, and later confirmed 366 of its corporate customers are affected by the breach, or about 2.5% of its customer base.
