Researchers studying cryptocurrency theft have found that on October 25th, hackers used passphrases and private keys from stolen LastPass databases to steal $4.4 million in bitcoin.

The information is from Taylor Monahan, a developer for MetaMask, and ZachXBT, who have been monitoring these cryptocurrency thefts.

We frequently receive DMs from folks who have had their cryptocurrency holdings taken. We also get out to victims that we find on-chain.”

“We ask potential LastPass victims multiple questions and typically have found one commonality between them all being LastPass.”

In 2022, a LastPass breach resulted in the theft of $4.4 million from over 25 victims by threat actors, according per a tweet posted by ZachXBT on X.
