Taylor Monahan, who have been tracking these crypto thefts.
"We regularly have people reach out via DM who have had their crypto assets stolen. We also approach victims we discover on-chain," ZachXBT told BleepingComputer.
"We ask potential LastPass victims multiple questions and typically have found one commonality between them all being LastPass."
According to a tweet by ZachXBT on X, the threat actors stole $4.4 million from 25+ victims due to a LastPass breach in 2022.
