In a stunning revelation that surprised absolutely no one, it turns out that LastPass’s 2022 breach was not just a minor inconvenience, but a multi-year free-for-all for cybercriminals with a penchant for cryptocurrency. Apparently, encrypted vaults are like piñatas at a cyber heist party—hit hard enough and golden crypto coins come pouring out.

The latest findings from TRM Labs suggest that weak master passwords are the digital equivalent of leaving your front door wide open with a ‘Welcome, Please Rob Me’ sign. And who else but Russian cybercriminals to RSVP and join the crypto looting extravaganza? Honestly, if you’re going to have your assets drained, might as well involve the best in the business.

It’s also reported that vault-cracking became as trendy as artisanal sourdough in the hacker community, leading to an uptick in black market how-to guides titled ‘Cryptocurrency Heists for Dummies.’ Meanwhile, LastPass users are still trying to decipher the ancient riddle of creating a strong password, a tale as old as the internet itself.
