Hackers Have Hacked the Password Storage Service LastPass, But Users Should Not Worry – Their Data Was not Affected

The password storage service LastPass has reported a hacker breach of its systems. As a result, attackers were able to steal the company’s source code and confidential information. At the same time, LastPass administration believes that password data has not been compromised, and users do not need to take any action to protect their accounts. The investigation revealed that an «unauthorized party» compromised the development environment that employees use to build and maintain the LastPass product. The attackers were able to gain access through a single compromised developer account.

Fears were expressed on social media that after stealing source code and sensitive information, hackers could gain access to keys to password vaults. However, an analyst with the computer security incident response team at Recorded Future thinks this is unlikely. «It is unlikely that stolen source code will give criminals access to customer passwords,» Liska said.⁴
