As LastPass confirms how it got hacked, other password managers look increasingly attractive.
I contacted LastPass and asked why the engineer's home computer use was not flagged before the keylogger incident. Was the computer covered by a BYOD policy, and why was third-party media software installed on it? Finally, I asked why the engineer in question was not provided a corporate laptop for work from home usage, which one would hope, might have avoided the circumstances leading up to the compromise. A LastPass spokesperson pointed me to the March 1 security incident update.
' when it comes to password managers. Both Bitwarden and 1Password come highly recommended. Watch the password manager Straight Talking Cyber video at the top of this article for details of how 1Password combines a master password and a secret key for additional password vault security. OK, so LastPass has applied additional policies and controls for cloud-based storage resources and changed privileged access controls. Both of which are good, but why were they not there before?
One thing is for sure, LastPass has my trust ground right down. Let’s be clear; it’s not that LastPass was successfully attacked. I've already made the point that absolute security is a complete fallacy. However, how breaches are communicated to customers is critical, and the methods used to affect the breach provide insight into security culture.A totally unscientific poll of 175 of my largely infosecurity professional following suggests that I'm not alone in coming to this conclusion.
