Norton LifeLock parent company Gen Digital says that hackers likely used a credential stuffing attack to compromise customers’ password managers. The breach began as early as December 1, 2022, although Gen Digital did not detect the issue until they became aware of a large volume of failed login attempts around December 12.
 

The company has sent notifications to roughly 6,500 individuals whose accounts were compromised.
 

For some reason, I have never used and not comfortable using Norton Password Manager. 

By the way, these Password managers have been breached (LastPass, Okta, and now Norton Password Manager). 

Which is next?! Bit^**den :-)

Mhh, I never felt comfortable to use a password manager in the cloud or web. I feel like I was right in the last time...

I never felt comfortable with cheap password services… btw 6500 accounts aren’t that many.

Didn’t even realise they had a password manager. I’ve stayed away from Norton ever since the product became bloated and started slowing down PCs
