Insecurity:
Password Managment Site Hacked
LastPass, a website that allows users to centrally manage their online passwords, has been hacked.
The site is advising users to change their passwords immediately to prevent all their online identities being exposed.
From Threat Post:
The data stolen could potentially allow attackers to launch brute force attacks on user accounts - using e-mail addresses associated with accounts and dictionary-style attacks to break LastPass Master Passwords, which would give attackers access to any online accounts and passwords managed in a given account.
