Fake LastPass Death Scam – The Internet’s Latest Dumpster Fire

Oh, for fuck’s sake. Just when you thought humanity couldn’t get any stupider, some clever dipshits decide to make fake death announcements about LastPass employees to worm their way into user accounts. Yeah, you heard that right — pretend an employee croaked, and boom, password vault access scams all around. Because nothing says “trust us!” quite like dancing on fake graves for credentials.

Apparently, some users got emails claiming that LastPass staff had tragically “died” and they needed your cooperation to handle “security matters.” Total horseshit, obviously, but still enough to make a few gullible souls hand over their vault info. Spoiler alert: once you cough up your login, your passwords are toast, and your digital life’s basically an all-you-can-eat buffet for scammers.

LastPass is trying to calm the frothing chaos, saying it was a social engineering con job — no system breach, just crafty assholes exploiting human stupidity. Because why bother hacking when you can rely on people’s infinite ability to click dumb things? So yeah, folks — no one died (except maybe your security hygiene and your faith in humanity).

TL;DR: Swindlers are pretending LastPass staff kicked the bucket to nick your vault. You fall for it, you’re basically handing them the keys to your kingdom. So, don’t click shit, don’t believe “dead staff” emails, and maybe, just maybe, stop being so gullible on the fucking internet.

Reminds me of the time I told a lazy user their login stopped working because their keyboard “died of exhaustion.” You’d be amazed how fast they stopped slamming the spacebar afterward.
