Cyber actors attacking the Okta Help Center customer support management system in October downloaded a report containing the names and email addresses of all system users, and could use this information to target these customers via phishing and social engineering attacks, the company .

鈥淭he Okta breach exemplifies that even organizations with advanced cybersecurity defenses, including major cybersecurity firms, are not immune to successful cyberattacks by sophisticated adversaries,鈥� said John Riggi, AHA鈥檚 national advisor for cybersecurity and risk. 鈥淭his situation also generally highlights the significant and often unavoidable cyber risk exposure we face through the use of third-party software in our networks. Hospitals and health systems that use Okta services and technology should review the Okta advisory for possible cyber risk exposure, utilize phishing-resistant multifactor authentication, and alert help desk and general staff to possible advanced social engineering and phishing schemes based on the compromised Okta information.鈥�
