Password management firm LastPass disclosed it was hacked two weeks ago, enabling threat actors to steal the company's source code and proprietary technical information.

The company released a security advisory confirming that it was breached through a compromised developer account that hackers used to access the company's developer environment. LastPass says there is no evidence that customer data or encrypted password vaults were compromised. Still, the threat actors did steal portions of their source code and "proprietary LastPass technical information."

The company said it deployed containment and mitigation measures and engaged a leading cybersecurity and forensics firm, but did not provide further details regarding the attack, how the threat actors compromised the developer account, and what source code was stolen.
