LastPass announced that hackers stole encrypted vaults containing customer passwords - here's what you need to do.
If you’re still a LastPass customer by now, you should consider ditching the password manager app the first chance you get. Well, that’s after Christmas or the holidays because that’s what most people are concerned about right now. And it’sthat LastPass decided to announce that hackers who breached its systems have been able to steal the encrypted vaults containing your passwords.
But that’s not good enough. It’s nearly impossible to breach those vaults. Nearly. It can happen, though, if attackers can brute force their way into yours. If you have a weak master password or one you recycle with other internet services that might have seen breaches before, that’s a risk. Hackers might guess it.Let’s remember that attackers also obtained unencrypted data. They know what sites you might have saved passwords or credit cards for in LastPass’s vault.
With these default settings in place, “it would take millions of years to guess your master password using generally-available password-cracking technology.” LastPass says there are no recommended actions customers should take at this time if the above applies to your account.
