The hackers don't actually have access to any passwords though.

Each account is still encrypted with a unique key that lastpass doesn't even know so can't expose when getting hacked. The hackers would still need to brute force each account individually to get at the passwords.

Unless you are extremely interesting, or your master key is vulnerable to rainbow table attacks (meaning it consists mostly of words, making it much easier to guess), you probably still have nothing to worry about.

if you trust lastpass... they've been hacked like half a dozen times at this point. If they can't secure their network, what makes me think they secure my passwords any better.
