Okta Inc. has discovered that hackers who breached its network two months ago stole information on all users of its customer support system — a scope far greater than the 1% of customers the company had previously said were affected.
By now, that’s been stolen from so many companies that I wonder how much new info is really being compromised compared to what’s already out there. Speaking anecdotally, my spam already comes personalized. Like, even the obviously-not-from-a-partner phishy-looking stuff.
True, but I think the point here is context. What the hackers get here is the context that X recipient gets email on X address from Okta so I’d more likely than not to respond.
