LastPass claims no data was compromised despite cyber security attack

LastPass, the popular password manager app, has recently been hit by a cybersecurity attack. However, the company has ascertained that the information, such as crucial data and customer passwords, is safe.

A few months back, the same password-storing app acknowledged that some portion of its essential source code and proprietary technical information was accessed unauthorizedly by a third-party cloud storage company, the services of which the company has been using.

Was the security breach of LastPass limited?In its official statement, the company said that the breach was limited to the development environment and couldn’t reach the customers’ data and encrypted passwords. The company didn’t specify what information was accessed as the investigation is currently ongoing. It further stated that the production environment lies in a different physical environment than the development environment.

The last time there was unauthorized access, the company investigated its production build and source code to check whether any attempts were made to inject malicious code. It said that the developers or hackers could not push or transfer source code from the development environment to the production one.

According to the company, the capability is limited to a specific team of the build release. The changes can only occur until a rigorous review, testing, and validation has been completed. CEO Karim Toubba has assured more robust measures to prevent any further threats.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
