So, they covered it up in January and now wants us to believe that this is not yet another attempt at covering it up.

Up until that statement I was willing to believe that they only just found out about it.

Had the same thought. A security breach in January, and only now are the details of the breach are revealed (by someone not related to Okta). In other words, Okta would never have revealed the security lapse until this leak.

One can only imagine the many security breaches that are never revealed (from any company).

They were kind of stuck with admitting it was active in January since most of the screenshots have a late January date showing in the bottom right hand corner.

Another possibility could be they didn't know about it in January and instead only figured it out sometime last week; at which point Todd Mckinnon sold 7600 shares of stock.
