Remember the massive LastPass security breach that LassPass detailed on the Thursday before Christmas? The one where hackers were able to steal a backup containing customer vault data that included both encrypted and unencrypted data? At the time, LastPass tried to assure customers that their data was safe and that it might take attackers a million years to get into user accounts.
About a year after the original LastPass attack started, security experts have now linked crypto thefts targeting more than 150 people to the LastPass breach. And the hackers managed to steal over $35 million worth of crypto after apparently getting access to LastPass vaults.
If it wasn’t clear back in December, you should change all your passwords stored in LastPass and ensure that your accounts have not been compromised. It’s probably also a good idea to ditch LastPass for 1Password or Proton Pass, no matter how long the process takes.
