LastPass fined £1.2 million for security failures exposing 1.6 million UK users

LastPass was fined £1.2 million by the UK's ICO for security failures that allowed unauthorized access to its backup database. The fine stems from a 2022 breach where inadequate security measures enabled hackers to access customer information, impacting 1.6 million U.K. users. Despite the breach, no LastPass passwords were compromised, and using a password manager remains a recommended security practice.
