title: 'T1557 Okta Verify SVG Asset Served by a Non-Okta Host'
id: '01e19e36-08d8-4fbc-a142-c0a7be74d8c8'
status: 'experimental'
description: 'A web request retrieving the Okta Verify authenticator icon (oktaverify.svg) from any host that is not Okta. The ShinyHunters "The Com" claims-impersonation kit self-hosts the Okta brand assets it clones, including this SVG, so the file is served from the lookalike domain rather than from Okta''s own content-delivery infrastructure. A host that is not Okta has no legitimate reason to serve Okta''s authenticator icon, which gives this signature effectively no benign baseline; it is close to zero-false-positive and inline-blockable at the proxy. It is also domain-independent and rotation-proof: the kit re-registers and re-hashes its domains and bundles per deployment, but it continues to self-host the same named brand assets, so the filename survives every infrastructure change the operator makes. This is the highest-fidelity on-visit signal in the detection set and fires before credentials are entered.'
