Further information is unavailable, as the investigation is still ongoing. An investigation has so far revealed that the breach stemmed from knowledge gained during the August 2022 incident, and that “certain elements of customers’ information” have been accessed. As reported Wednesday on its blog, LastPass recently detected unusual activity within a third-party cloud storage service. Now the company has experienced a second related hack, this time impacting customers. At the time, LastPass said that while part of its source code and proprietary technical info were taken, customers were unaffected. Back in August, the popular password manager suffered a security breach, in which the company’s developer environment was infiltrated. The original story from Dec 1, which covers more background details of the leak, follows below.
