> By paying taxes they’re essentially admitting to a felony to the US government, which makes them trivially easy to raid.

That's not how it works, taxpayers enjoy fifth amendment protections against self incrimination.

IRS can't share this information with other LE without a warrant anyway.

How do you define "politically neutral"?

>Remember that last pass has just been caught lying about their security, and you can't trust what they say.

I'm curious, what were they caught lying about?

>What proof do you have that last pass uses that encryption scheme? Is there any evidence to suggest that it meets rigorous standards?

LastPass has been extensively reverse engineered. There are, for example, public Defcon talks about it.

>Changing passwords in the face of a breach like this is standard practice and is the only logical step forward.

This is not logical at all.

>You cannot trust last pass security from this point forward.

Why not? Because they disclosed a breach?

He waived extradition, definitely makes him seem like much less of a flight risk.

How is the LastPass encryption badly implemented?

In your other comment you claimed it was "likely" to be badly implemented, but here you state it as a fact. What's up with that?

Why do you think it is likely? That's a very strong claim.

> such as bad RNG

How could that be a problem? The attacker doesn't control your passwords. How would you exploit a known IV as an attacker in this context?

If you don't trust LastPass to encrypt your passwords properly, why would you use it at all?

>That exact kind of thing happens constantly

Like when?

>And of course, the nature of the concern here involves us not knowing that LastPass was fucking up.

What do you mean? The cryptography used by LastPass is very well understood.

> Your encrypted data is compromised, it is in the hands of an attacker who really wants to decrypt it. You're pinning all of your digital security on encryption holding against an active attacker.

Well, yeah. Just like you leak your encrypted password to the internet every single time you log into a website.

>What if there is an undiscovered or undisclosed vulnerability in the encryption?

lmao, if aes-256-cbc is broken then LastPass is probably the least of anyone's concerns. This happens to also be one of the more difficult AES modes to screw up.

>What if last pass isn't using encryption as secure as they claimed?

Shit, if that was a real concern you would have to be a complete idiot to use LastPass in the first place.
