The LastPass app attacked by hackers

lastpass-2

Do not be alarmed if you are using this application on your Mac or iOS device because nobody have managed to access the stored personal data, but it does alert both the users themselves and the developers of this type of application that save passwords.

For those who do not know this application that is available on Mac since January of this year and much more time for other platforms, it is a password manager that stores all our passwords or important data under a single password. It performs similar functions to the most popular application to store passwords, 1Password.

lastpass-1

What happened this time is that the developer himself warns of a third-party attack in which we already warned at the beginning that no user has been discovered, but if recommend that we change the password let us be users of the application for Mac or mobile devices. The brute force attack focused precisely on discovering those login passwords, so by modifying this password we will be safe from possible attacks in the future.

These types of apps are very safe and perfectly protect all our data, what we don't have to do is make it easy for hackers with typical passwords that are used in this type of attack so that the data is well protected. Also think that developers are interested in having our data protected as much as possible and thus gaining more users. If you are a user of the LastPass App change your password as soon as possible Rest assured, your data is safe despite this attack.
