The latest LastPass vulnerability was reported on July 26th, 2016 by Google Security Team researcher Tavis Ormandy, perhaps most famously known for his discovery of vulnerabilities in Sophos, Symantec, and FireEye products. And-as the latest LastPass vulnerability serves to illustrate-password management solutions may no longer be a safe alternative for memorizing passwords. To be fair, these breaches occurred indirectly as a result of triggering events-for example, a massive Linkedin data breach led to Zuckerberg's Twitter account getting hijacked, but one thing is for certain: the executive leadership of the world's leading tech companies are as prone to password management mishaps as the rest of us. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai, Twitter's Jack Dorsey, what do these three high-flying CEOs have in common? Their social media accounts were all hijacked recently due to bad password habits.
