This is the best summary I could come up with:


Network and security giant Cloudflare and password manager maker 1Password said hackers briefly targeted their systems following a recent breach of Okta’s support unit.

“We immediately terminated the activity, investigated, and found no compromise of user data or other sensitive systems, either employee-facing or user-facing,” said 1Password chief technology officer Pedro Canahuati in a blog post.

Okta spokesperson Vitor De Souza told TechCrunch that about 1% of its 17,000 corporate customers — or 170 organizations — were affected by its breach.

In an attached report detailing the security incident, 1Password said the hackers used a session token from a file that had been uploaded by a member of the IT team earlier in the day to Okta’s support unit system for troubleshooting.

Cloudflare also confirmed in a blog post on Friday that hackers similarly targeted its systems using a session token stolen from Okta’s support unit.

Okta’s stock price dropped more than 11% on Friday — wiping at least $2 billion off the company’s value — following news of the breach, which was first reported by security journalist Brian Krebs.
