The recent security breach at Okta has set off a chain reaction in the business world, with one of the leading password manager companies, 1Password, revealing that it too has fallen victim to a cyberattack that appears to be a direct result of the Okta breach.
According to a statement from Pedro Canahuati, CTO of 1Password, “On September 29, we detected suspicious activity on our Okta instance that we use to manage our employee-facing apps.” He further explained, “We immediately terminated the activity, investigated, and found no compromise of user data or other sensitive systems, either employee-facing or user-facing.” This prompt action from 1Password helped prevent any unauthorized access or data breaches.
