Somebody has a data privacy mess on their hands.
I had not heard of OKTA, but they are in the . . . IDENTITY VERIFICATION business. This failure, and the slow communication and response SHOULD put them out of business.
I think at this point if I were starting up such a business I would use a proprietary OS, possibly built off of legacy OSs (e.g. DEC) and a non TCP/IP network protocol (maybe an updated, more secure version of Banyan VINES). Of course, we are then looking at $1 billion just to turn on the lights.
Go ahead ...keep using a credit card or register with stores under your own name....I have always used a pay for credit card with a name and info that IS real but not me....I put just enough on it to make a purc hase and thats it...DO NO business with a “CREDIT” card in your name...DeBIT is one thing ...and for those of you afraid to go out at night I would tell you to squirrel away cash .../s

Our health care provider uses Okta to authenticate users when logging in. This is bad news!
Time to change the pw.
The company I work for uses Okta for all authentication. Hope it isn’t too severe. We use MFA with authorized cellphones, so I don’t know if a data breach could result in unapproved access.
