Re: [cryptography] LastPass have been hacked, so it seems.

keeping something safe in the cloud inherently requires trusting a third party.

yeah, that says it all.

no access safe.  access not safe.

cloud computing is good for non critical stuff and stuff you want ppl to see anyway.  like your web page.  even then, _javascript_ injection jacking your page, blah, blah.

if the cloud is not good for HIPAA, banks, financial institutions, that should be a clue.

Subject: [cryptography] LastPass have been hacked, so it seems.

I always had my doubts about keeping my passwords in the cloud.

Let's hope for LastPass users that their data is as secure as LastPass claims it is.

No reason to think otherwise of course, but still. If i read correctly between the lines, some people's (sensitive) data maybe on the wrong hands.

I mean, what if Chinese hackers got it? (Yeah, it feels like i sound a bit Paranoid, but in this day and age, Chinese hackers are actually a thing:)

are we sure that the Chinese government don't have enough computing power to unhash whatever was taken?

just saying...
