Cloudflare is laying the blame for the cyberattack it suffered late last year the after-effects of the critical Okta breach.
The content delivery service provider has published a blog post detailing the cybersecurity incident it suffered on Thanksgiving Day 2023, noting that on November 23, 2023, a threat actor accessed the company’s self-hosted Atlassian server.
Cloudflare’s security team quickly spotted the incursion and cut the attackers off. However, subsequent investigation revealed that the attackers managed to access Cloudflare’s endpoints by using credentials that were compromised in the Okta breach that happened a month earlier.
