LastPass-owner GoTo on Tuesday disclosed that unidentified threat actors were able to steal encrypted backups of some customers' data along with an encryption key for some of those backups in a November 2022 incident.

"The affected information, which varies by product, may include account usernames, salted and hashed passwords, a portion of multi-factor Authentication settings, as well as some product settings and licensing information," GoTo's Paddy Srinivasan said.

MFA settings pertaining to a subset of its Rescue and GoToMyPC customers were impacted, although there is no evidence that the encrypted databases associated with the two services were exfiltrated.

The company did not disclose how many users were impacted, but said it's directly contacting the victims to provide additional information and recommend certain "Actionable steps" to secure their accounts.

The announcement comes nearly two months after both GoTo and LastPass disclosed "Unusual activity within a third-party cloud storage service" that's shared by the two platforms.

LastPass, in December 2022, also revealed that the digital burglary leveraged information stolen from an earlier breach that took place in August and enabled the adversary to steal a massive stash of customer data, including a backup of their encrypted password vaults.
