Unauthorized access occurred at LastPass, with parts of the source code being pilfered; CEO makes the disclosure.
In a recent development, LastPass, a popular password manager used by over 33 million registered users and more than 100,000 businesses, has experienced a breach. The breach was detected approximately two weeks ago by the company.
According to a statement released by LastPass, the breach occurred in their development environment. However, they assure their users that no customer service data or encrypted vaults were accessed during the incident. This means that the personal information of LastPass users remains secure.
LastPass's CEO, Karim Toubba, has confirmed that containment of the breach has been achieved, and enhanced security measures have been implemented to prevent such incidents in the future. Containment and mitigation measures have also been deployed by the company.
The investigation into the breach is ongoing, and a leading cybersecurity and forensics firm has been hired to help determine the details of the incident. At the moment, there is no publicly available information about an authorized actor who successfully infiltrated LastPass's system.
LastPass has emphasized that the breach did not involve customer service data or encrypted vaults. This means that the passwords, notes, and other sensitive information stored by customers in their LastPass vaults remain secure. Furthermore, no further evidence of unauthorized activity has been found.
The company is evaluating further mitigation measures to ensure the security and privacy of their customers. They urge their customers to continue using their service with confidence, as the breach did not compromise the security of customer data or vaults.
LastPass remains committed to providing a secure and reliable service to its customers. They are working diligently to understand the full extent of the breach and to take all necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future. As the investigation continues, the company will provide updates to its customers and the public as more information becomes available.
