This allowed the bad actor to copy information from a LastPass backup of customer vault data that contained both unencrypted data (such as website URLs) and encrypted data such as usernames and passwords. Later in the year, this same bad actor used that stolen information to target a LastPass employee to steal their credentials to gain access to customer data. In August of 2022, LastPass experienced a security breach where some source code and technical information was stolen.
