Thanks for writing this up! After reading LastPass' very vague response, they did not inspire confidence for me to stick around as a paying customer.

I am unsure if this is too small of a compromise for them to be able to a) care or b) spend resources on investigating or that they just don't know what's happening.

It’s vacation time, they simply don’t have the people on site to investigate the issue quickly. So far not surprising, and certainly intended by the timing of this attack.

That their first reaction is to downplay rather than to admit that they don’t know much yet – that’s rather typical of LastPass unfortunately. Sadly, with this approach they aren’t exactly an outlier in the industry.
