I moved off of LastPass a while ago, but hadn't actually deleted my account because of laziness/inertia. This breach was finally the impetus to get me to full-on delete my vault and start the process of cleaning up my old accounts. Luckily I've been off of it long enough that I suspect most of my regularly used accounts are different anyways, but I'm still going through the process now of methodically rotating all of them (I may change some of the email addresses as well). ---- I think a lot of people even casually knew LastPass wasn't at the same quality level as other solutions, but inertia is powerful. Sometimes you need something glaring to be the final straw that breaks the camel's back. It's been long overdue; I moved off of Gmail as well a while ago but haven't gone through and systematically changed all of my account email addresses; there are still a few older services I have that send emails over. The new year is a good opportunity to clean that stuff up.

The scariest part was it was a backup of theirs that was stolen. So deleting all your info might not have even protected it. It could still be in an old backup and get stolen. :( I've deleted my stuff now anyway, it's all we can do. :(

  > The scariest part was it was a backup of theirs that was stolen. I knew it was a backup, but I don't recall seeing anywhere how old it was. Do we have any more information? My data was confirmed deleted by them mid last year when I moved to BitWarden, and I'm hoping the backup was older. If not then I'm in the unfortunate position of being at greater risk than those who signed up more recently. I need to change everything anyway just in case, but knowing more would help with peace of mind. I used them for so many years I probably only had the 5,000 (or maybe even the 500) iteration config they never once mentioned.
