1Password disclosed a minor data breach impacting its Okta support system, but user data or passwords were not hacked.
Password manager apps are high-priority targets for hacking looking to access user accounts and password combinations. 1Password is one of the more popular manager apps, which makes it a prime candidate for such an attack. The company just disclosed a minor breach that impacted its Okta account. But 1Password made it clear that no user data or passwords were accessed by the third party that obtained temporary access to the support system.
The separate Okta breach is to blame The 1Password developer in question 'was engaged with Okta support, and at their request, created a HAR file from the Chrome Dev Tools and uploaded it to the Okta Support Portal,' the company explained. 'This HAR file contains a record of all traffic between the browser and the Okta servers, including sensitive information such as session cookies.' The unknown attacker used the same Okta session to access the Okta administrative portal.
