Hey , since you don't seem to have much a media/comms team anymore, can you address the apparently legitimate claim that someone scraped & is now selling data on hundreds of millions of Twitter accounts? Maybe it didn't happen on your watch, but you owe Twitter a reply.

Either LastPass is recommending users choose "404" as their master password, or they don't want to recommend anyone a new master password right now...

This analysis by of LastPass's PR statement about its data breach is pretty damning... :(
I do hope LastPass users who need to take action haven't missed what's going on amid all this Christmas/New Year malarkey

Unfortunate timing with this latest disclosure. Iโm sure LastPass wanted to be as transparent as possible about what occurred, and get the news out there as quickly as possible to users.
Itโs just unfortunate some might not see it due to proximity to Christmas.

LastPass hacker accessed backup of customer vault data including unencrypted website URLs and *encrypted*website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data.
Thank goodness LastPass doesnโt know its usersโ master passwords.

I wouldn't wish any parent the experience of having a seriously sick kid, but it seems some ransomware gangs simply don't give a damn.

I've been told that has suffered a "serious IT incident" which is affecting access to all its offices.
Staff are being told to work from home, and not to use VPN to log in to any systems... :(
Wishing the Guardian IT team well, especially at this time of year.

Teaching Twitter users that malware warnings should be ignored by abusing them to scare people away from your competition is disgusting, disturbing and incredibly dangerous.
