The messages, LastPass said, come with the following subject lines -\\n\\n * LastPass Infrastructure Update: Secure Your Vault Now\\n * Your Data, Your Protection: Create a Backup Before Maintenance\\n * Don’t Miss Out: Backup Your Vault Before Maintenance\\n * Important: LastPass Maintenance \\u0026 Your Vault Security\\n * Protect Your Passwords: Backup Your Vault (24-Hour Window)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThe emails are designed to steer unsuspecting users to a phishing site (\\”group-content-gen2.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws[.]com\/5yaVgx51ZzGf\\”) that then redirects to the domain \\”mail-lastpass[.]com.\\”\\n\\nThe company emphasized that it will never ask users for their master passwords and that it’s working with third-party partners to take the malicious infrastructure down. It has also shared the email addresses from which the messages originate -\\n\\n * support@sr22vegas[.]com\\n * support@lastpass[.]server8\\n * support@lastpass[.]server7\\n * support@lastpass[.]server3\\n\\n\\n\\n\\”This campaign is designed to create a false sense of urgency, which is one of the most common and effective tactics we see in phishing attacks, a spokesperson for the Threat Intelligence, Mitigation, and Escalation (TIME) team at LastPass told The Hacker News in a statement.\\n\\n\\”We want customers and the broader security community to be aware that LastPass will never ask for their master password or demand immediate action under a tight deadline. We thank our customers for staying vigilant and continuing to report suspicious activity.\\”\\n\\nThe development comes months after LastPass cautioned users of an information-stealing campaign targeting Apple macOS users through fake GitHub repositories that distribute malware-laced programs masquerading as the password manager and other popular software.\\n\\nFound this article interesting?
