LastPass, a widely used password manager application, has issued a warning to its users advising them to not press option 1 or 2 if they get a call purporting to be from the service. This is due to a new scam that can potentially compromise account master passwords with all the misery that would bring. It is imperative to be aware of this and take the necessary precautions to safeguard your LastPass account. Here’s what you need to know.to all users of the password manager .
The first sign of something wrong was when intelligence analysts at LastPass found a new fraudulent domain had been registered but not yet activated. That domain, ‘help-lastpass com’ was designed to give the casual viewer confidence that it was genuinely associated with the LastPass service. By monitoring this domain the security team at LastPass was able to identify as soon as it went live, purporting to be a login page to the service, and initiate steps to have it taken down.
This follow-on call comes from a spoofed number with the caller claiming to be a LastPass employee and informing the user that they have been sent an email that includes a link to enable them to reset their account for security reasons.
