This employee was only one of four people in the company with access to their corporate vault. The breach may have come through a home Plex media account, according to Ars Technica*, and appears to have been perpetrated by the same hackers who breached LastPass security on a smaller scale last August. At about the same time, Plex’s security was also breached." *https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/lastpass-hackers-infected-employees-home-computer-and-stole-corporate-vault/ This is wjy I don't use password mangagers. I keep my passwords/phrases in a PGP file on my comp. Yeah, I gotta copy paste after opening the PGP, but it is safer than using password "protector" dumbware like LastPass.
