Personally, I no longer believe that online password managers are worth the risk, but at one point, I did use LP myself (because I paid for their bookmarks sync service). In fact, I closed my account because I felt like they did not understand that they are a security service.
They had asked for some permission that I felt was unnecessary for a service that should merely manage passwords, so I closed my account.
Anyway, if you have a Lastpass account, I'd recommend that you first log in and change your LP master password, then change _every password_ that you had stored in that account.-

And isn't this the third or fourth time they've been penetrated? At this point, their paid and unpaid customers should be concerned that the company may suffer a ransomware attack and they'll be locked out of all their sites. -
