In my experience it's a pretty low bar to keep private credentials outside of source code. If a "security" company like Okta has secrets in their source code, that's embarrassing and unexpected. Any competent team of 2+ developers should be able to avoid this.
However, what's more common is secrets in CI variables. If their GitHub was breached, they should be more concerned with whether the attackers had access to GitHub Actions logs or secrets.
