LastPass is perhaps the most popular password service in the world, a pioneering manager in its category that hasn’t seen its best moments in a few years. Growing and better competition is coupled with ongoing security breaches, of which it seems it has just suffered another.

This is confirmed by the CEO of LastPass in a warning note in which he confirms that he found out unusual activity in a cloud storage shared with partners, they have reported it to the authorities and an audit firm and are waiting for the conclusion of the investigation to learn more and communicate this to their users.

And it, they saw something strange but still don’t know the extent of the problem, if he was there. And all indications are that it is, according to the report and recent developments surrounding the password service. In fact, they remember the last security incident they suffered because it’s very likely that whatever happened now is based on it.

And it, Last August, LastPass disclosed a security breach.a cyberattack that resulted in the theft of a large amount of data, both their own and their clients’, although, as they always try to point out, the users’ master passwords are kept encrypted on the client side, so no information ever works with it.

However, the incident was more serious than it first appeared, as the attackers even stole the source code owned by LastPass, although, as the service emphasized at the time, the development environment is kept separate from customer data. … but not their employees, the firing range they slipped through then and could slip through now.

That’s why they at LastPass suspect that using the data stolen on the previous occasion, they have now used it to carry out, it is not clear what, but nothing good… though not potentially very damaging, except for the company’s reputation. They will say what happened when the ongoing investigation is over. The problem is that one is followed by another, and there are already a few.

It’s hard to say since using a password manager is always recommended, but it’s almost worth using the one that comes with browsers because for practical purposes it’s the same or more secure than what LastPass turns out to be. Also alternative services like Bitwarden, although they will likely suffer the same fate. Yes, browsers too, but between Mozilla, Google or LastPass…
