    My first 3 reactions, granted coming from about a quart low on coffee were: - What level of dumb is this? - Does Git use Okta for logins? :) - One would think that with what Okta charges, they might have their source in a veritable fortress Granted, this comes from a place where we don't use Git at all, except to reluctantly download packages when there is no other choice...

          On the bright side, Okta's source code will be given a serious review for vulnerabilities.

              It might hurt Oktas bizniz model. I would not regard it as a threat to security. Any good security model depends on math, not on secret algorithms. E.g. [sufficiently] hashed passwords, or ECC [^]

                  What the heck is Okta? Seems like it has to do with authentication? Why do we trust these services???

                    I just visited their web site. It appears that they bill themselves as a "one stop shop" for all your authentication needs. Given that they've just been hacked, I don't know what would worry more as a client - that they are using their own solution internally, or that they are not.

                      It wasn't Okta that was hacked. It was GitHub.
