Okta shows 1,081 event types but useful hunting focuses on authentication and policy evaluation events; look for sessionId and dthash fields plus debugContext to link devices and sessions. Recent campaigns use Render and free hosting, reuse phishing kits, run low‑and‑slow and low‑medium sophistication attacks (Shiny Hunters style) to pivot into Salesforce, Atlassian, Slack, DocuSign, Google Workspace and M365. Audit sign‑in policies (priority 1–99), require phishing‑resistant MFA and MDM, deploy URLScan/VirusTotal monitoring, use Okta customer detections and continuous tailored hunt queries; FastPass failures reveal phishing infrastructure roughly half the time.
