Not really. Here is one of the recommendations:

"Take any report of compromise seriously and act immediately to limit damage; in this case Okta was first notified on October 2, 2023 by BeyondTrust but the attacker still had access to their support systems at least until October 18, 2023."

It is good to call Okta out here as it impacts Cloudflare's business as well and if you can't fix a critical issue for 16 days, that is bad. Remember we are talking about Auth here. A breach impacts everything.

SEC requires public disclosure basically immediately (within a few days. Less than a week for sure) for public companies if a hack could harm your bottom line or trade value.

Hopefully they sink their teeth and give out a nice fine for this insane negligence, but I suspect okta is in for a strongly worded letter.
