LastPass: One Password, 33 Million Vaults

In August 2022, an attacker compromised a software engineer's laptop and stole internal documentation from LastPass, the password manager. That documentation pointed to a senior DevOps engineer whose home computer, running an outdated copy of Plex Media Server, let the attacker plant a keylogger and capture the engineer's master password. Because LastPass allowed personal and corporate vaults to share one password, that single capture opened the keys to the encrypted vault backups of more than thirty-three million customers. LastPass has since agreed to settle US claims for about twenty-four and a half million dollars, a settlement pending final approval and not an admission of liability, and the UK's Information Commissioner's Office fined the company over 1.2 million pounds.
