Crypto thief steals $4.4M in a day as toll rises from LastPass breach

Estimates in September revealed that at least $35 million in crypto has been stolen from victims of the LastPass breach since 2022, with the latest hack adding to the toll. At least 25 people have reportedly seen $4.4 million in crypto drained from across 80 wallets due to a 2022 data breach that impacted password storage software LastPass. In an Oct. 27 X (Twitter) post, pseudonymous on-chain researcher ZachXBT said they and MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan tracked the fund movements of at least 80 wallets compromised on Oct. 25. “Most, if not all, of the victims are longtime LastPass users and/or confirm having stored their [crypto wallet] keys/seeds in LastPass,” Monahan said in an accompanying Chainabuse report.
