In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

    By 2013, new LastPass customers were given 5,000 iterations by default

    Uh, I made my lastpass account in 2012. If the iterations setting on 2013 was 5000, then the iterations setting the older accounts are probably even worse. I may or may not upgrade the iteration, I can’t remember at all.
