LastPass, the online multiplatform manager has noticed a hack attack, so it is forcing its user to change their master password.
LastPass stated in a company blog that it noticed a network traffic anomaly on a noncritical server. Workers delved into the anomaly but couldn't find the root cause. Then they noticed that traffic was sent in the opposite direction from another unaccountable database. "Because we can't account for this anomaly either, we're going to be paranoid and assume the worst: that the data we stored in the database was somehow accessed."
Not only is the LastPass team forcing its users to change their master passwords, they're also verifying identities by double-checking that an individual's access is coming from IP blocks that have been used before or by authenticating e-mail addresses.
