Klue Supply Chain Incident & LastPass Response - The LastPass Blog

LastPass wants to inform our customers of a security incident which recently occurred at one of our third-party suppliers and how that incident impacts LastPass and our customers.

@hrbrmstr And of course, they don’t have a date on their blog posts… Looks like yesterday though according to third-party coverage
@hrbrmstr @Viss I don’t get why people use it anyway… I had to use it at my last job and it was truly terrible.
@hrbrmstr idk dude, I just like getting hacked too much🙂

@hrbrmstr

"a third-party market intelligence platform utilized by our go-to-market teams"

I'm too old to understand what that means.

@ColinHaynes @hrbrmstr I'm too old to care what it means.
@ColinHaynes @hrbrmstr they sent a bunch of customer data to a contractor they were paying to help them sell more.
@ColinHaynes @hrbrmstr let me translate:
- "a third-party" : "it wasn't our fault, honest guv"
- "market intelligence platform" : "the data gathered by spying on people who don't block online ads"
- "utilized by our go-to-market teams" : "used by our sales and marketing teams"
@hrbrmstr It sounds like the problem is with Klue.
@mamiyaman it's both
@hrbrmstr @mamiyaman Is there independent reporting that indicates Lastpass content was accessed? From the linked blog post: "LastPass products, services, and infrastructure were not impacted in any way and customer vaults remain secure."
🤷‍♀️
@hrbrmstr how are they still in business?

@hrbrmstr

Hahahahahahah!

My last job used LastPass. After the last scandal they had us change all our work passwords, as if that would help.

I personally myself use an Android port of KeePass (https://keepass.info/download.html ). Configured to allow only local access. 'Cause I care about that stuff.

Downloads - KeePass

@hrbrmstr @briankrebs OH: lastpass, the Ivanti of password managers
@hrbrmstr I've lost track of how many breaches they've had in the last 5 years. It's astonishing that they still have customers.
@hrbrmstr Not just LastPass - stop using *anything* requiring a cloud connection where there is a reasonably viable/accessible non-cloud alternative. Yes it's harder and realistically will be beyond some to do, but how many times do we need to entrust our data to these thieving charlatans? I mean the service providers who sell our data to brokers (227 trusted partners my arse) so they can sell us shit. Just stop if you are at all able.

@hrbrmstr "Klue (klue.com), a third-party market intelligence platform utilized by our go-to-market teams which integrates with our Salesforce and Gong systems."

I'm going with don't be corporate douchebags who care more about marketing than security for 10 points

@hrbrmstr
And if you have stopped using LastPass before, create a new account just to delete it.
