At least 25 people have reportedly seen $4.4 million in crypto drained from across 80 wallets due to a 2022 data breach that impacted password storage software LastPass.<\/p>\n

In an Oct. 27 X (Twitter) post, pseudonymous on-chain researcher ZachXBT said they and MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan tracked the fund movements of at least 80 wallets compromised on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost, if not all, of the victims are longtime LastPass users and\/or confirm having stored their [crypto wallet] keys\/seeds in LastPass,\u201d Monahan said in an accompanying Chainabuse report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just on October 25, 2023 alone another ~$4.4M was drained from 25+ victims as a result of the LastPass hack. <\/p>\n

Cannot stress this enough, if you believe you may have ever stored your seed phrase or keys in LastPass migrate your crypto assets immediately. pic.twitter.com\/26HsxrlnCb<\/a><\/p>\n

In December 2022, LastPass disclosed an attacker leveraged information previously stolen in a breach that August to target a LastPass employee<\/a>, snagging their credentials and decrypting stored customer information.<\/p>\n

Also stolen was a backup of encrypted customer vault data which LastPass warned could be decrypted if the attacker brute force guesses the account\u2019s master password.<\/p>\n

In a September blog post<\/a>, cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs reported some of the LastPass customer vaults had seemingly been cracked and over $35 million worth of crypto had been stolen from around 150 victims.<\/p>\n

In January, LastPass was hit with a class-action suit<\/a> from individuals claiming the August 2022 breach resulted in the theft of around $53,000 worth of Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In his latest X post, ZachXBT advised anyone who ever stored a wallet seed or private key in LastPass to \u201cmigrate your crypto assets immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
