Authentication services firm Okta says it is investigating report of breach

Authentication services company Okta Inc said on Tuesday it is investigating a report of a digital breach after hackers posted screenshots of what they claimed were its internal company environment.

A hack at Okta could have potential major consequences because thousands of other companies rely on the San Francisco-based firm to manage access to their own networks and applications.

The screenshots were posted by a group of ransom-seeking hackers known as LAPSUS$ on their Telegram channel late on Monday.
