In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

Man, I can't believe I have to change the password of my important accounts. I had >700 entries in my lastpass account. A good chunk of them are probably accounts from dead websites but I'll still have to wade through them.
