Everyone gets hacked - and "hacked" is a term that can mean different things. Did the attackers gain access to a database? A thermostat? The TV in the lounge? If they got into a database, did it have sensitive information on it? If it contained user passwords, did they get the data? In what format?

LastPass's response to that particular breach was stellar. They said what happened, they said what they did to strengthen defenses, and they were transparent about it. Even if people got my entire encrypted password store from LastPass, there's very little they can do with it since I use a strong master password.

So I'm not worried, and I like the seamless online transfer and update of my passwords to and from my various devices.
