This week, LastPass, and its parent company GoTo, both published blog posts about their recent data breach: http://tcrn.ch/3ucMvBx

But if you search for GoTo's blog post in Google, you won't find it, because GoTo hid its breach notice from search engines using "noindex" code.

@zackwhittaker I am more on the side of “Lastpass did good, because they were transparent”. Well, that changes things a little.

@iougiri @zackwhittaker LastPass has been very transparent. Their business partner has not been. Maybe they should reevaluate the partnership. But other than that, this really isn't on LastPass at all, is it?

@aikensource @zackwhittaker Yes, I think it is more on GoTo, but aren’t they still the owners of LastPass, not just business partners?

@iougiri @zackwhittaker dang it... I did not realize that logmein rebranded as goto. UGH.
GoTo announced a year ago that they plan/ned to spin off LastPass again to it's own company but it's unclear for me if that actually occurred or not.

@aikensource @zackwhittaker Yes, it’s not entirely clear if anything happened in the last year regarding the spin-off. But GoTo still sees the need to do a press release regarding the breach. If they had had sold them, the only thing we would have heard from them right now would be a sigh of relief. Or opening of champagne bottles.

@iougiri @zackwhittaker clearly they're operating under different management, that's for sure. This does make me feel squirmy though.

@aikensource @iougiri @zackwhittaker Maybe time to switch to #BitWarden?

@varpness @aikensource @zackwhittaker When LogMeIn was aquired by private equity firms a couple of years ago I switched to 1Password, but I think you cannot go wrong with BitWarden either, which I have since set up for family members.
