LastPass Screws the Pooch… Again
Oh for fuck’s sake, LastPass is back in the headlines. Remember that 2022 breach where half the internet shat itself because some genius left their password vaults sitting around like free candy? Yeah, turns out that cosmic-level fuck-up didn’t just end there. According to TRM Labs, the fallout’s been quietly cooking away for years—hackers have been helping themselves to a buffet of stolen cryptocurrency wallets linked to that glorious clusterfuck. Millions of dollars gone, wallets drained, victims left wondering why they trusted a password manager that couldn’t guard a wet sandwich.
The crooks apparently used info from the original breach—stuff like encrypted vaults and metadata—to pick apart weak-ass master passwords. Once they cracked those open, it was game over. These morons have been siphoning Bitcoin, Ethereum, and every other token under the goddamn blockchain rainbow since forever. So much for “zero-knowledge encryption” when zero competence seems more accurate.
And guess what? Some victims didn’t even realize they were robbed until recently. Because nothing screams “trustworthy” like delayed digital grand larceny. TRM Labs basically confirmed what anyone with half a brain suspected — the LastPass breach wasn’t a one-time fuck-up. It was an open buffet for cyber-scumbags that’s still paying dividends years later. Bravo, LastPass. You’ve turned password management into a fucking art form of disaster.
Moral of the story? Don’t stick your damn keys in someone else’s leaky vault. Or better yet, stop reusing passwords like a hungover college student trying to remember their Netflix login. Either way, this shitshow is a cautionary tale of how *not* to handle user trust, encryption, or basic cybersecurity.
Reminds me of that time a sysadmin thought “password123” was clever for the root account. A week later the server was mining Bitcoin for someone in goddamn Minsk. Some lessons never stick, eh?
