The breach has led to a £1.2 million UK ICO regulatory fine, a $24.45 million US class action settlement, US federal seizures, and on-chain attribution by TRM Labs and blockchain researcher ZachXBT to Russian cybercriminal infrastructure.","timeline":[{"date":"2022-08-08","event":"First intrusion: attacker compromises LastPass developer's corporate laptop, exfiltrates source code and technical documentation over four days.","source":"","source_url":"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cryptocurrency-theft-attacks-traced-to-2022-lastpass-breach/"},{"date":"2022-08-25","event":"LastPass CEO Karim Toubba publicly discloses the August breach, claiming no customer data was accessed.","source":"","source_url":"https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/notice-of-recent-security-incident"},{"date":"2022-09-08","event":"Second intrusion begins: attackers use stolen credentials from a senior DevOps engineer to access AWS S3 cloud storage.","source":"","source_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_LastPass_data_breach"},{"date":"2022-09-22","event":"Second intrusion ends; attackers have exfiltrated a backup of customer vault data including encrypted seed phrases and private keys.","source":"","source_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_LastPass_data_breach"},{"date":"2022-11-30","event":"LastPass publicly discloses the full scope of the breach, acknowledging that encrypted customer password vaults were stolen.","source":"","source_url":"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cryptocurrency-theft-attacks-traced-to-2022-lastpass-breach/"},{"date":"2023-09-15","event":"KrebsOnSecurity publishes security researcher findings concluding that a series of six-figure crypto heists across dozens of victims resulted from cracked LastPass master passwords.","source":"","source_url":"https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/03/feds-link-150m-cyberheist-to-2022-lastpass-hacks/"},{"date":"2023-10-01","event":"ZachXBT documents approximately $4.4 million stolen from LastPass breach victims in October 2023.","source":"","source_url":"https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/crypto-roundup-lastpass-breach-linked-to-54m-crypto-theft-a-27109"},{"date":"2024-01-30","event":"Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has approximately 283 million XRP (~$150 million) stolen from wallets whose private keys were stored in LastPass.","source":"","source_url":"https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/03/feds-link-150m-cyberheist-to-2022-lastpass-hacks/"},{"date":"2024-02-01","event":"ZachXBT is first to publicly attribute the Larsen XRP theft to the LastPass breach via Telegram.
