LastPass Breach

[Trevor Chandler]

Hackers have stolen $12.38 million in cryptocurrency from LastPass users this month, leveraging data from a 2022 breach that compromised sensitive data that included customer vault information, according to crypto investigator ZachXBT. The theft of nearly 150 addresses, with funds quickly converted and moved, highlights the enduring impact of the 2022 breach.

Is this the same LastPass that someone in the CIN community recommended to me when I posted a query about password managers????

Possibly. LastPass has had some data breach issues in the past. Probably something to consider before signing up with them. We used to use the service but changed services. Went back to sticky notes under the keyboard.

The major issue I have with LastPass is the delay (from August 2022 to December 2022 ) in reporting the breach. In that December I spent hours changing the 300+ passwords for my accounts. Hence the decision to participate in the class action lawsuit as a named Plaintiff.

Sticky notes under the keyboard - now why didn't I think of that

I kept getting told to switch to LastPass, and every time I started to consider it... a new breach was reported. Some of the breaches have been worse than others. For an interesting read... https://bestreviews.net/which-password-managers-have-been-hacked/

Unfortunately, we have to choose between bad choices for authentication. I still think password managers are the way to go, and I am happy with mine for now.

We're in a sad state if the only choices for authentication are "bad" ones. Ouch!!!! Makes me wonder if I'm not just better off canceling my home alarm system, save that monthly expenditure, and just leave my door unlocked
