Okta is warning nearly 5,000 current and former employees that their personal information was exposed after a third-party vendor was breached.
The data breach notification warns of a security incident that impacted Rightway Healthcare, which provides healthcare coverage for Okta employees and their families.
Okta learned about the breach on October 12, 2023, when Rightway disclosed the attack, and immediately launched an investigation to determine the extent of the compromise.
According to Okta's report to the Office of the Maine Attorney General, the breach impacted a total of 4,961 employees.
The notice highlights twice that Okta has no evidence the personal information of those people has been misused.
In December 2022, Okta admitted that hackers accessed confidential information and source code stored within private GitHub repositories.
