LastPass, with 25 million users, has confirmed another data breach - the second this year.
At this early stage in the investigation, Toubba said thatand the specific nature of the customer information that has been accessed."Our customers’ passwords remain safely encrypted due to LastPass’s Zero Knowledge architecture," Toubba confirmed. This, as in the August breach, is good news for users of the LastPass password manager.
"Given the vast amount of passwords it protects globally, LastPass remains a big target," Yoav Iellin, a senior researcher at Silverfort, says."The company has admitted the threat actor gained access using information obtained in the previous compromise. Exactly what this information is remains unclear, but typically, it’s best practice after suffering a breach for the organization to generate new access keys and replace other compromised credentials.
I have contacted LastPass for further information and will update this story as it develops. LastPass has engaged a Mandiant cybersecurity team to investigate further, and law enforcement has been informed.
