More than $35 million has been stolen from over 150 victims since December — ‘nearly every victim’ was a LastPass user::Security experts believe some of the LastPass password vaults stolen during a security breach last year have now been cracked open following a string of cryptocurrency heists
I keep thinking of the people who make their passwords garbled random text impossible to memorize but then they trust an online service to keep it safe and private. When breaches happen, maybe even a post-it note at home would have been more secure.
Yeah cool post it notes for several hundred sites.
Better get a notebook then
Unique passwords for every single account is an over-abundance of caution. Sensitive accounts: financials, medical, email, yes those should all be insulated from single-source failures. Your xbox live, netflix, and instagram are probably fine as a universal “entertainment” password.
That’s terrible advice.
