LastPass and What To Do Next

Breaking the News

For those of you who don’t follow this type of stuff….LastPass was breached. http://blog.lastpass.com/2022/12/notice-of-recent-security-incident/
First, why does that matter to anyone? It’s a good question if you don’t follow any security news, or maybe don’t know what LastPass is exactly. The short version is it’s largest company that allows you to store passwords for all your things online. If you’re like me you already see the problem here, but to make it clearer I’ll just say that 30 Million people use this service to keep their passwords safe and secure. That kind of treasure trove is like the internet version of Smaug the Dragon’s horde of gold in the Hobbit. You’re just inviting attacks, and that’s exactly what happened.

Wait But Why?

Why would you store your passwords online? Well, there are other alternatives for how to store your passwords.

Health and Boundaries

Recovery is tough.

I’m just now recovering from a year’s worth of depression. No, I haven’t been in depression recently. I finally came up for breath almost 10 months ago, but I’m just now at a place I’d describe as recovered. I’ll go into more detail in the next several weeks. about it.
