Password manager LassPass said it’s investigating a security incident after its systems were compromised for the second time this year.

LastPass chief executive Karim Toubba said in a blog post that an “unauthorized party” recently gained access to some customers’ information stored in a third-party cloud service shared by LastPass and its parent company, GoTo. Toubba said the unauthorized party used information stolen from LastPass’ systems in August, which the company disclosed at the time.

The third-party cloud service wasn’t named, but a 2020 blog post by Amazon Web Services cited the company’s transition of a billion customer records to Amazon’s cloud.


Toubba did not say what specific customer information was taken, but said it was working to “understand the scope of the incident and identify what specific information has been accessed.”


couldn't find a security software area but if there is one and should be moved there, feel free please. thanks

I came across something interesting, that it's even mentioned on their websites - LastPass uses a third-party server to store the data, so they actually ''rent'' the space from a 3rd party provider. - https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/11/notice-of-recent-security-incident/ ''LastPass detected “unusual activity” within a third-party cloud storage solution that it uses. '' This is super disturbing for me, as I have trusted LastPass for several years, believing that they actually store my passwords in a super-high security place, which they maintain and encrypt... Now I am in the chase of finding a new good solution. I no longer want to go with the BIG players. At the moment I am testing https://www.remembear.com/ and https://www.pcloud.com/pass. Both seem pretty decent,
