LastPass hack

[jonsie]

I know many people, myself included, use LastPass so I would suggest everyone follows their advice and changes their master password.

The company was advising users to change their LastPass master passwords, which are used to retrieve encrypted individual passwords for the users’ other online services or accounts. But it said they did not need to change individual passwords for all their accounts.

LastPass, which stores multiple passwords in encrypted form, warned on Monday that it had detected “suspicious activity” on its own computer system.

Thanks for the info @jonsie. I see although it appears that the passwords have remained untouched ....they may have had access to email addresses,password reminders and encryption info....:smileysad:

I will have to wait until I'm back in the UK on the 16th July as they don't recognise the phones or tablet and have sent a verification email to a now defunct o2 email address. Shame I'm not clever enough to hack it

Thanks for the heads up @jonsie

You beat me to it @jonsie I had an email from them this morning, so will be changing my master password.:smileyhappy:

More on this here, it doesn't sound as if you need do more than change your main account password and make sure it's a good one.
