LastPass has issued a warning about an active phishing campaign using fraudulent security notices to redirect users to malicious websites. The scheme targets both LastPass and Bitwarden password manager users.

The phishing attacks impersonate legitimate security alerts, attempting to trick users into clicking malicious links that lead to fake login pages designed to steal credentials. LastPass advises users to: - Never click links in unsolicited security emails - Always navigate directly to the official website by typing the URL - Verify alerts through official support channels - Enable multi-factor authentication for additional protection Bitwarden users face similar threats. Both password managers recommend users remain cautious of unexpected security notifications. Phishing campaigns targeting password manager users have increased in frequency as attackers aim to compromise master credentials, which would grant access to all stored passwords. Users experiencing suspicious activity should change their master passwords immediately and review account access logs if available.
