The Backup Wrap-Up

Security expert rips Okta for their response to hack


Listen Later

We have none other than Snorkel42 from Reddit on the podcast today. He has 20 years experience in InfoSec, and is a prolific writer on Reddit under the handle Snorkel42. (Check out his posts here: https://www.reddit.com/user/snorkel42/). (We will not be using his given name during the recording.).

He thinks Okta managed to turn a mole hill into a mountain by incorrectly handling the hack that happened in January – that we just learned about last week. That's right, we just found out about a hack that actually happened in January!

We dive deep into what happened, what it means, and how the worst problem of all is how Okta responded to it. Our expert says he no longer trusts Okta, and gives advice to customers on what to do next.

This is a very timely episode that you will really enjoy – unless you're an Okta customer or employee.
