There you have it! LastPass got breached again — and this time the front door was never touched.
The attackers didn't crack LastPass. They walked through Klue, an AI business intelligence vendor LastPass plugged into its customer data pipeline. Stolen access tokens. A straight pull from Salesforce and every platform wired into Klue's service.
Names, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, support cases — all of it flowed downstream to LastPass customers who never heard the word "Klue" in their lives.
Read that again. A password manager — a company whose entire reason to exist is protecting your most sensitive data — handed an AI vendor a key to its customer records, and that key is now in someone else's hands.
This is the modern attack. Nobody breaks down the perimeter anymore. They find the smallest vendor with the biggest access and let the integration do the work. Compromise one AI tool, reach hundreds of downstream companies. The vendor is the breach.
I have been warning about this for years. Everyone hardened their own walls and then bolted on dozens of SaaS and AI platforms that carry the exact same privileges as an insider. Your third-party risk IS your risk. There is no asterisk.
If your value proposition is security, vendor scrutiny is not a checkbox. It is the job. When you keep ending up in the headlines, the pattern stops being bad luck and starts being the answer.
If you're a LastPass customer: your passwords weren't exposed, so don't panic-rotate. But the attackers now have your name, email, and phone. Expect the phishing. Treat every unsolicited "LastPass" email or call as hostile until proven otherwise.

How do we protect from third party risks?
