LastPass threat actor steals $5.4M from victims just a week before Xmas

White hat organization Security Alliance (SEAL) urged users to transfer crypto funds from LastPass if their private keys have been stored there since December 2022 or earlier.

The notorious LastPass hackers may have just ruined Christmas for another 40 victims by stealing $5.36 million from LastPass users — just eight days before the holiday. 

LastPass fell victim to a data breach in December 2022, when the hackers were able to copy a backup of customer vault data from encrypted storage.

As of September, more than $35 million worth of crypto had been stolen — but factoring in the $5.36 million and a $4.4 million incident from Oct. 25 would bring that figure closer to $45 million.
