Speaking exclusively with PCWorld, LastPass CEO Joe Siegrist explained how his company came to the conclusion that its servers, which provide cross-platform password storage for millions of customers, may have been accessed by an outside party. Just one day earlier, LastPass announced via its blog that it had noticed a "network traffic anomaly" and was implementing additional security as a result.
:- determine you're too lazy to remember passwords
:- decide it would be brilliant to store all your passwords in the cloud
:- against all probability someone decides to try and hack this single data store of collective credentials
:- ???
:- lose the game
saving game states in the cloud, perfectly acceptable... everything else, probably not so much...
Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so - Bertrand Russel
I think it would be more secure to write your password down somewhere or even use a secure application on your phone for example to store you passwords than saving them on the net. Eish!
