Lastpass Users Master Passwords May Have Been Leaked

LastPass is arguably one of the popular password managers, coming with various security features for users to protect their online credentials. However, it could have been exposed to a new security breach as many users have recently reported that their master passwords might have been compromised. Here are the details.

It is reported that various LastPass users have received email warnings mentioning login attempts to their accounts from unfamiliar locations across the world recently. Moreover, several users report that they cannot disable and delete their LastPass accounts after receiving the warnings due to a “Something went wrong: A” error. This was initially reported by Greg Sadetsky (via Hacker News).

However, LogMeIn’s Global PR/AR Senior Director Nikolett Bacso-Albaum denies all this and highlights that “LastPass investigated recent reports of blocked login attempts and determined the activity is related to the fairly common bot-related activity.“
