Now according to the company, the threat actor engaged in a new series of "reconnaissance, enumeration, and exfiltration activities" aimed at its cloud storage service between August and October 2022. GoTo, the parent company of LastPass, also fessed up to a breach last month stemming from unauthorized access to the third-party cloud storage service. It did not divulge how recent the backup was. Later in the same month, the unknown attacker was disclosed as having obtained access to a backup of customer vault data that it said was protected using 256-bit AES encryption. In December 2022, LastPass revealed that the threat actor leveraged the stolen information to access a cloud-based storage environment and get hold of "certain elements of our customers' information." The August breach saw the intruders accessing source code and proprietary technical information from its development environment by means of a single compromised employee account. The original incident, on the other hand, ended on August 12, 2022. This intrusion targeted the company's infrastructure, resources, and the aforementioned employee from August 12, 2022, to October 26, 2022. "The threat actor leveraged information stolen during the first incident, information available from a third-party data breach, and a vulnerability in a third-party media software package to launch a coordinated second attack," the password management service said. The company said one of its DevOps engineers had their personal home computer hacked and infected with a keylogger as part of a sustained cyber attack that exfiltrated sensitive data from its Amazon AWS cloud storage servers. LastPass, which in December 2022 disclosed a severe data breach that allowed threat actors to access encrypted password vaults, said it happened as a result of the same adversary launching a second attack on its systems.
