LastPass: “Xmarks was not hurt”

LastPass reported on Thursday that hackers were unable to obtain passwords related to the XMarks service, which the company acquired in December last year.

Earlier, LastPass had to ask users to change their master password after detecting abnormal traffic, which the company associated with the result of hacking the database.

But Xmarks passwords were not affected by this attack, so service users do not need to change the password.


“As you can see, XMarks users have not suffered,” said LastPass CEO Joe Siegrist to a question posed to him by email. - "The work of these services provide different machines, different networks and different databases."

LastPass acquired Xmarks at the end of last year.

The amount of the transaction was not disclosed. Xmarks, syncing bookmarks for use on multiple browsers, computers, and operating systems, was a step away from closing. In September 2010, Xmarks announced that it could no longer compete with Sync Services built into Chrome and Firefox.

After purchasing Xmarks, LastPass retained free access to the service, and also added the ability to buy a premium account for $ 12 a year, its advantages are synchronization with the iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry.

On Thursday, Siergist gave an interview to PCWorld. He said that the possibility that someone can use LastPass user passwords is one in a million.

And this is the worst case.
