Well, lastpass doesn't store the passwords on its servers in a way that they could just change. From my understanding the database is only decrypted on the client machines when the master password is entered.

Still, the idea of a service for handling this makes sense. Rather than one based on a single vendor, a simple API for querying compromised domains would handle it. Then the lastpass extension can call that api for a list of the user's domains and see if anything needs to be changed. Being more general (just giving out information about recently compromised sites) also seems more useful, in that people would do a lot of different things with it.
