BOLO: LastPass Password Vault Users Need to Check Their Accounts!  

LastPass has been hacked twice in six months!

Tim Hardwick of  macrumors.com reports that popular password manager LastPass has been hacked for a second time within the last six months!  LastPass CEO, Karim Toubba, provided in a statement:

We have determined that an unauthorized party, using information obtained in the August 2022 incident, was able to gain access to certain elements of our customers’ information. Our customers’ passwords remain safely encrypted due to LastPass’s Zero Knowledge architecture. 

what information of yours was obtained by lastpass hackers?

Toubba provides that users' passwords are safe and that they are working on the issue.  It appears though that some user information was compromised.  I would check on your credit card information and maybe check your credit report to make sure no unauthorized charges, credit card applications or loan applications were made!
