We discussed several times the importance of password managers such as LastPass, but sometimes hackers could exploit them to launch their attacks.

The security researcher Sean Cassidy has presentedon Saturday at the ShmooCon hacker conference in Washington a new phishing attack scheme that could allow an attacker to access all passwords stored by a user of the popular LastPass password manager. Cassidy called LostPass his LastPass phishing attack.

LostPass works because LastPass displays messages in the browser that attackers can fake. Users cant tell the difference between a fake LostPass message and the real thing because there is no difference. Its pixel-for-pixel the same notification and login screen wrote Cassidy in ablog post.

The LastPass phishing technique could allow an attacker to take over user accounts even if protected by the two-factor authentication.

Cassidy explained that this particular attack is feasible because LastPass is vulnerable to across-site request forgerythat allows any site to send the application a logout notification.

Cassidy demonstrated how users can be tricked into submitting both their LastPass master password and their 2nd-factor authentication code, the attack method relies on a malicious server and exploits bogus pop-up notifications to fool the victims.

The LastPass phishing attack starts when the user visits a bogus website running javascript code that generates inthe victims browser a notification informing him he has been logged out of LastPass application. The message appears as legitimate and redirects victims to a fake LastPass login screen.
