Item 8.01 – Other Events

On March 21, 2022, a cybercrime group published a number of screenshots online that were taken from a computer used by a customer support engineer employed by a third-party vendor that supplies customer support services to Okta, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company has determined that the screenshots are related to an incident experienced by the vendor in January 2022. The vendor engaged a leading forensic firm to perform an investigation of the incident and has since advised the Company that the incident is not ongoing and has been remediated.

Based on the findings of the vendor’s forensic firm, in the January 2022 incident, there was a five-day window of time between January 16-21, 2022 when the cybercrime group had access to the vendor environment, which the Company also has validated with its own analysis. The Company has determined that the maximum potential impact is 366 (approximately 2.5% of) customers whose Okta tenant was accessed by the vendor during the five-day window. The potential impact to the Company’s customers is limited to the access that the vendor support engineers have in connection with their role. These support engineers are unable to create or delete users, download customer databases, or access the Company’s source code repositories. Support engineers are able to facilitate the resetting of passwords and multi-factor authentication factors for users, but are unable to obtain those passwords.

The Company’s service is fully operational. The Company does not consider the incident to be material.

The Company continues to investigate the incident and is in ongoing communication with its customers about the incident.

On March 22, 2022 and March 23, 2022, the Company issued blog posts announcing details relating to the foregoing incident, and will continue to post blog updates as warranted.
