Password Manager Last Pass Possibly Hacked

Universal password via browser extension Last Pass has announced on its company blog that it might have been the target of a hacking attempt on Tuesday, as it experienced an unidentifiable anomaly in traffic.Still unsure if this is actually an attack or who was responsible, Last Pass, (whose slogan is ironically "the last password you'll have to remember!")initially asked users to change their passwords.Because of traffic overload due to this breach news, it is now asking users to verify their emails and will be rolling out password changes as the traffic dies down:"We're asking if you're not being asked to change your password then hold off -- we're protecting everyone."
