Already smarting from a breach that put partially encrypted login data into a threat actor’s hands, LastPass on Monday said that the same attacker hacked a senior devops engineer's home computer and obtained a decrypted vault available to only a handful of company developers.

“This was accomplished by targeting the DevOps engineer’s home computer and exploiting a vulnerable third-party media software package, which enabled remote code execution capability and allowed the threat actor to implant keylogger malware,” LastPass officials wrote. “The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault.”

A person briefed on a private report from LastPass and spoke on the condition of anonymity said the media software package that was exploited was Plex. Interestingly, Plex reported its own network intrusion on August 24, just 12 days after the second incident commenced.

It's not clear if the Plex breach has any connection to the LastPass intrusions. Representatives of LastPass and Plex didn’t respond to emails seeking comment for this story.
