Authentication service provider and Okta subsidiary Auth0 experienced a "security event" involving some of its code repositories.
Its multiple code repository archives from 2020 and earlier (pre-dating Okta's February 2022 acquisition) were obtained by unknown means from its environment.
The company hired a third-party cybersecurity forensics firm to investigate how the data was exfiltrated.
The company also took "precautionary steps" to ensure that information bundled with the code could not be used in the future to hack into company and customer systems.
