LastPass

Reached a storage bucket through a personal cloud account

Federated access from a personal cloud account linked to corporate resources carried attackers into a cloud storage bucket.

Removed: nothing. The link between one employee’s personal cloud account and corporate resources stayed in place.

Outcome: attackers reached a cloud storage bucket through that federated link, which the company says partially enabled the breach.

The 2023 LastPass breach was partially enabled by attackers accessing a cloud storage bucket through federated access to an employee’s personal cloud account that was linked to corporate resources.
