LastPass password manager hacked

I’m waiting for Lifelock to be hacked.

[Yaelle]

Guess I’ll still keep using PASsWRd and 123456.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m waiting for Hillary’s homebrew email server to be hacked.

[Pearls Before Swine]

That’s why bank robbers rob banks.

[LibWhacker]

Looks like everyone’s paranoia about storing their passwords on somebody else’s cloud was well-founded after all. It’ll be a cold day in Hades before I trust all my data to a third party!

[Fai Mao]

I would be willing to bet that the result of threats like this is that computers get taken off line and that really important information is never made available at least not in written form. A radioed double cypher might be easier to secure

[MeganC]

WHY would anyone trust all of their passwords to be kept in any one place? Crazy.

[MUDDOG]

Yes!

You’ve got to figure it got hacked long ago, but the hackers have kept it close to the vest.

We need the contents to be made public.

[C210N]

It's easier and safer to just remember 1-2-3-4-5.

[Boogieman]

Just checked. My “post-it” note password manager has NOT been hacked and is still securely taped to the inside of my desk drawer.

[TribalPrincess2U]

My copy and paste is still okay.

[Boogieman]

The solution is simple, FRiend. We just implant everyone with a little microchip in their hand, or maybe their forehead. That chip can function as their “online identification security” widget, like the little keychain doohickeys that some banks are using for online security now.

We’ll key it to their vital signs, so if they die, or someone tries to cut it out, it self-destructs. Then we’ll make it so you need the implant to log on to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, or Youtube, to encourage universal adoption. What could go wrong?

[GraceG]

Buy an olde timey address book and write a separate unique password for each web site/username in it...

[bgill]

I’ve been waiting since it first came on the market.

Sadly, many trust google’s cloud.

It’ll be a cold day in Hades before I trust all my data to a third party!

As a bigger and better paranoiac, it'll be a cold day in hell when I trust any cloud, anywhere, for any reason.

I did not trust the 1960s equivalent then, and I sure as hell don't trust the gazillion versions of today!

My private cloud : DVD backups. Read only.

they make 2 terrabyte hard drives now.

yesterday I saw a thin stick that plugs into a usb port the size of a door key

[publius911]

Then we’ll make it so you need the implant to log on to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, or Youtube, to encourage universal adoption. What could go wrong?

What?

Nothing serious.
Other than if someone could hack it, they could literally turn YOU off.

That could be serious.

[publius911]

they make 2 terrabyte hard drives now.

Even 4 Tb ones, at reasonable prices.
But...
If 500 Gb drives can fail, 2 Tb drives can, too.

What's worse than having all your eggs in one basket??
