EDITOR'S NOTE
A spokesperson reached out to Tech Times in light of users' alleged unknown login attempts. Here's the official statement.
"LastPass investigated recent reports of blocked login attempts and we believe the activity is related to attempted "credential stuffing" activity, in which a malicious or bad actor attempts to access user accounts (in this case, LastPass) using email addresses and passwords obtained from third-party breaches related to other unaffiliated services. It's important to note that, at this time, we do not have any indication that accounts were successfully accessed or that the LastPass service was otherwise compromised by an unauthorized party. We regularly monitor for this type of activity and will continue to take steps designed to ensure that LastPass, its users, and their data remain protected and secure."
LastPass users claimed that their passwords were used in various locations. Some of these login attempts came from unknown activities to the password manager's members.
Many of the service's users claimed that they receive notifications saying that their passwords were changed multiple times by unknown activities.
Right now, the latest password and login issues are still not yet confirmed to be from a massive data breach. LastPass also hasn't released an official statement yet regarding the matter.
As of the moment, many news sources are already trying to communicate with the giant password manager. If you are one of the affected consumers, the best thing you can do right now is to wait for the tech firm's further announcements.
