LastPass Parent Company GoTo Suffers Data Breach, Customers’ Backups Compromised

LastPass-owner GoTo (formerly LogMeIn) on Tuesday disclosed that unidentified threat actors were able to steal encrypted backups of some customers’ data along with an encryption key for some of those backups in a November 2022 incident. The breach, which targeted a third-party cloud storage service, impacted Central, Pro, join.me, Hamachi, and RemotelyAnywhere products, the company said. “The affected information, which varies by product, may include account usernames, salted and hashed passwords, a portion of multi-factor Authentication (MFA) settings, as well as some product settings and licensing information,” GoTo’s Paddy Srinivasan said. Additionally, MFA settings pertaining to a subset of its Rescue and GoToMyPC customers were impacted, although there is no evidence that the encrypted databases associated with the two services were exfiltrated. The enterprise software provider emphasized that it does store full credit card details and that it does not collect personal information such as dates of birth, addresses, and Social Security numbers.

ANALYST NOTES

The company did not disclose how many users were impacted, but said it’s directly contacting the victims to provide additional information and recommend certain “actionable steps” to secure their accounts. GoTo has also taken the step of resetting the passwords of affected users and requiring them to reauthorize MFA settings. It further said it’s migrating their accounts to an enhanced identity management platform that claims to offer more robust security. Individuals who have been compromised by this breach should change login information immediately. Whenever a customer is notified by a company of a data breach, they should ensure they are taking the proper steps to protect themselves including monitoring their credit and being on the lookout for phishing emails.
