"Most, if not all, of the victims are long-time users of LastPass and/or confirm that they have stored their keys or passphrases in the service," Monahan said in a report on Chainabuse.
Earlier, LastPass confirmed that the attackers managed to gain access to the encrypted data of the password vault. The developers assured that the information remains confidential due to the zero-disclosure architecture.
In September, cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs wrote that experts found more than $35 million worth of cryptocurrencies stolen from about 150 confirmed victims. They were all LastPass users.
"The profile of the victims is the most striking thing. They are really all sufficiently knowledgeable about security issues. They are deeply integrated into this ecosystem, [including] employees of reputable crypto organizations, venture capitalists, people who created DeFi protocols, deployed smart contracts, managed full nodes, " Monahan said at the time.
According to researchers, as a result of the LastPass data leak, an employee of the well-known analytical company Chainalysis lost "several million" in digital assets. The firm confirmed the incident, but declined to comment.
