Subject: LastPass autofill for phishing scams
Body:
I'm sorry to hear that you and your friends have been targeted by phishing scams. It's important to be aware of the risks associated with clicking on links in emails and text messages, even if they come from people you know.
As for why LastPass offered to autofill your Facebook and Amazon logins for a non-Facebook and non-Amazon domain, it's possible that the phishing website was using a technique called domain spoofing. Domain spoofing is a type of phishing attack where the attacker creates a website that looks like a legitimate website, but with a slightly different domain name. For example, the attacker might create a website called "facebook. com. example" instead of "facebook. com".
LastPass uses a variety of factors to determine whether to autofill login credentials for a website, including the domain name. However, if the phishing website is using domain spoofing, LastPass may not be able to tell that it's not a legitimate website.
To protect yourself from phishing scams, it's important to be vigilant and to verify the identity of a website before you enter your login credentials. Here are a few tips:
- Never click on links in emails or text messages, even if they come from people you know. Instead, go to the website directly by typing the URL into your browser.
- Be suspicious of any website that asks you for your login credentials, especially if it's a website that you don't normally visit.
- Check the domain name of the website carefully. Make sure that it's the correct domain name for the website you're trying to visit.
- Look for signs that the website is fake, such as poor grammar and spelling, or images that look blurry or distorted.
If you're ever unsure whether a website is legitimate, it's best to err on the side of caution and not enter your login credentials.
