This. Why would we be critical of LastPass being secretive and/or wrong and then take a tweet at face value?

From one of the tweets:

> I did not download anything. My machines are clean, and I have physical 2fa on everything. None of the links or contracts I interacted with were malicious. Nobody else had physical access to my PC.

Yeah sure. Sounds like my aunt when she messed up her PC and loudly claims "but I didn't do anything!" Surefire sign that she did. Turns out it's true, every time.

One entity has something to lose, the other doesn't?

That exactly what flat earthers claim.

1. You don't know if this person has nothing to lose

2. Even if they have nothing to lose that doesn't mean they are being honest.

I have no idea what this has to do with this discussion, and this just comes off as an ad hominem attack. Flat earthers claim that there's an economic interest in lying to them? And you think that claim is particularly genuine or even similar to this argument?

> You don't know if this person has nothing to lose

It is possible that they have some competing business and are trying to damage LastPass, but there's absolutely no evidence of that, nor any suggestion other than to double-check your credentials and your expected security if you are a LastPass customer. So, if they do have an interest, they're doing a particularly bad job of acting within it.

> Even if they have nothing to lose that doesn't mean they are being honest.

And we're not going to reach 100% certainty of any fact through discussion on a message board. It is interesting that some people spend a lot of effort trying to ensure this obscurity gets injected into the conversation, and it suggests that their own motivations should be questioned.

All in all, on the balance of apparent probabilities, there's more reason to trust this person than not. You can attempt to assail that logic if you like, but I would appreciate it if you stuck to the facts of the argument instead of kicking up dirt.

They are just being secretive about their business the same way you ask them to be secretive about your passwords.

[themitigating]

Yes, so?
