- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 4y agoIn the short- term, definitely. An argument that I’ve heard before is that in the long-term, companies like LastPass will gain improved security through fixing the holes that are breached. “What doesnt kill you makes you stronger”, so to speak. I’m thinking that something like unrestricted dev access for four days would be more like a death blow, though. I suppose that depends on how much source code was exfiltrated and how many backdoors got planted in systems, etc.

- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 4y agoRight. The argument that I’ve heard is that that is the long-term thinking of using specialized security vendors like LastPass. In the short-term, definitely a drawback, and one of the reasons that I’d always recommend something like KeePass for most situations.
- dingosity 4y agoDon't search the phrase "naked short". Likely it will not make you feel happy.

- gmmeyer 4y agoYou don't wanna get hacked but basically everyone gets hacked, so it's more of a question of "how well does your security and monitoring stand up to hacking?" The big red flag here is that they didn't catch it for so long! How did they not notice?
