The LastPass password manager has apparently been hacked but with minimal damage according to the company.
Password management systems like LastPass and Roboform will always be prime targets for cyber-attacks.
What can you do to help minimize the risk that your sensitive data will be stolen?
1. Strengthen your master password so that it isn’t easy for a hacker to crack. Using the term “password,” your zip code, or your pet’s name as your master password isn’t going to cut it.
2. Keep your master password a secret. If you share an account with a spouse or significant other, make sure that person understands the need for secrecy too.
