**Crypto Heists Surge as Christmas Nears**

LastPass users are facing a grim holiday season as hackers strike again, stealing $5.36 million in crypto just days before Christmas. This adds to a growing tally of over $45 million stolen since a major data breach in December 2022. The latest theft saw funds converted to Ether and moved through instant exchanges, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT.

Security experts warn that private keys stored on LastPass before 2023 are vulnerable. Users are urged to transfer assets immediately. With scams on the rise during the festive season, vigilance is crucial.
