Okta Help-Desk Social Engineering / Account Takeover
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events in Okta that could indicate a help-desk social engineering attack or account takeover. Specifically, it looks for a user's password being reset, followed by the enrollment of a new MFA factor or device for that same user, all occurring within a short time frame (1 hour) and potentially from distinct session IDs or device hashes. This pattern suggests an attacker has gained initial access (e.g., via social engineering the help desk) and is immediately attempting to establish persistence by enrolling their own MFA device.
