And while you're doing that, you'll probably want to transition away from LastPass, too. If you haven't - or if you just want total peace of mind - you'll need to spend some serious time and effort changing your individual passwords. LastPass estimates it would take 'millions of years' to guess your master password - if you've followed its best practices.

Though the most sensitive data is encrypted, the problem is that the threat actor can run 'brute force' attacks on those stolen local files.

At the very least, you need to change all of the passwords you have stored with LastPass right away if you haven't already. Even so, if you're a LastPass subscriber, the severity of this breach should have you looking for a different password manager, because your passwords and personal data can still be at serious risk of being exposed.
