Entrust Hack Security Breach

Security giant Entrust has finally confirmed its internal IT systems were breached back in June.

Entrust is a security firm focused on online trust and identity management, offering a wide range of services, including encrypted communications, secure digital payments, and ID issuance solutions.

Hackers stole ‘some files’ security vendor Entrust admits: Data breach last month with unauthorised internal systems access confirmed.

Entrust has reluctantly admitted the databreach, resulting in the theft of essential corporate data. The breach impacts the DOJ, the DOE, and the USDT, among others major organisations.

It wasn’t until July 26th that the breach was publicly confirmed when security researcher Dominic Alvieri tweeted a screenshot of a security notice sent to Entrust’s customers.

The responsible group operation relied on the trusted network of network access sellers to obtain initial access to Entrust environment which led to the subsequent encryption and exfiltration exposure via a known ransomware group.

Whether a ransom has been paid or not is currently unknown.

The breach was discovered on June 18 and the firm started notifying customers on July 6. The reasons for the delay on notifying customers was not given. This delay could clearly put customers systems at risk and could be considered negligent.

Entrust stated “We have determined that some files were taken from our internal systems. As we continue to investigate the issue, we will contact you directly if we learn information that we believe would affect the security of the products and services we provide to your organization.” – Entrust.

OKTA Security Breach 2022

Many large corporate customers were horrified to learn of the recent Okta security breach.

Okta says 366 corporate customers, or about 2.5% of its customer base, were impacted by a security breach that allowed hackers to access the company’s internal network.

The authentication giant admitted the compromise after the Lapsus$ hacking and extortion group posted screenshots of Okta’s apps and systems on Monday, some two months after the hackers first gained access to its network.

The breach was initially blamed on an unnamed subprocessor that provides customer support services to Okta. In an updated statement on Wednesday, Okta’s chief security officer David Bradbury confirmed the subprocessor is a company called Sykes, which last year was acquired by Miami-based contact center giant Sitel.

Okta has admitted it “made a mistake” by not telling customers sooner about a security breach in January, in which hackers were able to access the laptop of a third-party customer support engineer.

The Lapsus$ hacking group published screenshots of Okta’s systems on March 22, taken from the laptop of a Sitel customer support engineer, which the hackers had remote access to on January 20.

“We want to acknowledge that we made a mistake. Sitel is our service provider for which we are ultimately responsible. In January, we did not know the extent of the Sitel issue – only that we detected and prevented an account takeover attempt and that Sitel had retained a third party forensic firm to investigate. At that time, we didn’t recognize that there was a risk to Okta and our customers
