	Description:		Even if you aren't familiar with Okta, you've probably used it. The digital login system is used by thousands of companies across the world to manage employee logins to various cloud services. Which makes it a real problem when that system, and all that login info, gets hacked. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Lily Hay Newman joins the show to tell us about the group behind the recent Okta hack, how the hackers took control of such a vast system, and what happened in the aftermath. Show Notes: Read all Lily’s stories about the Lapsus$ Okta hack. Recommendations: Lily recommends setting up two-factor authentication on all your services. (Here’s how!)
