Threat group ShinyHunters publicly taunted security vendor ReliaQuest, posting screenshots suggesting a compromised employee account and listing the company on its data leak site. ReliaQuest confirmed an employee was tricked via a vishing attack into entering credentials on a fake single sign-on page, but said the attacker only gained view-only access and could not move laterally or reach internal applications.
CrowdStrike and Okta both topped Wall Street's second-quarter estimates and raised their forecasts, pointing to rising AI-related cyberattacks as a driver of increased customer spending on security tools. CrowdStrike shares rose 15% and Okta jumped 20%, while Palo Alto Networks, SailPoint and Rubrik each gained roughly 9% as the sector rallied broadly.
Okta reported quarterly revenue up 11% to over $800 million and net income more than doubling to $116 million, beating Wall Street estimates and sending shares up 19%. The company said new products, including its Okta for AI Agents tool now available to all customers, drove 30% of total bookings, with dozens of new AI-related deals closed including a multi-million-dollar healthcare contract.
ReliaQuest confirmed that ShinyHunters attackers impersonated its own security staff in vishing calls, directing an employee to a fake single sign-on page hosted on a lookalike domain, reliaquest.claims. The employee entered credentials and approved an MFA prompt, giving attackers brief, view-only access to an identity dashboard, but device-trust controls stopped further access to systems or customer data.
