Description

Attacker's Goals

An attacker might attempt to compromise Okta accounts to gain initial access to the organization, sensitive assets or data.

Investigative actions

  • Examine Okta alerts and search for signs of compromise to evaluate the potential risk.
  • Examine email logs and headers to understand how the phishing email bypassed email security filters.
  • Review the details of the phishing attempt, including the source email address, sender domain, and the content of the phishing message if available.
  • Review recent login attempts, session details, and activity logs in OKTA for anomalies.
  • Use threat intelligence feeds to identify if similar phishing tactics are part of a larger campaign.
  • Examine historical access logs to see if there have been other attempts from the same IP or country and evaluate the potential threat level.
