Yubikey or other browser-based MFA would not have mitigated this attack - the attacker obtained a valid administrative session token from _after_ any MFA would've been completed. MFA or not, this attack would've happened regardless.

Enforcing hardware-based MFA is good practice and may protect against future attacks (the attackers might be back with a spear-phishing campaign?) but is completely irrelevant to what's actually happened here.

Nobody's been fired for buying IBM. Also blame outsourcing - if your run your own Keycloak and get pwned it's on you, if it's Okta then it's not your problem.
