Sean Cassidy, CTO of Praesidio, demonstrated the phishing attack, which he calls “LostPass,” last week at ShmooCon. “We think this is a very serious problem for two main reasons,” said Praesidio CEO Edgardo Nazario. “First, LastPass is a very popular password manager. Second, the phishing attack we uncovered is fairly simple to implement and execute.”
