LastPass says 12-hour outage caused by bad Chrome extension update

LastPass experienced an approximately 12-hour service disruption beginning around 1 PM ET after a faulty Chrome extension update caused excessive load on backend systems, leading to login failures and 404 errors for users. While LastPass reported resolution around 8 PM ET and later claimed stable performance, customers continued to report lingering issues tied to the June 6 update. The incident appears to have been a self-induced overload rather than a security breach.
