    No one's safe from hackers -- not even LastPass, a company that stores people's passwords.

    LastPass lets people store passwords online so they can access them all with a single master password.

    You're storing all your eggs in one basket. That could be a problem.

    On Monday, LastPass announced that hackers broke into its computer system and got access to user email addresses, password reminders, and encrypted versions of people's master passwords.

    So keeping all your passwords in a single place on the Internet might not be such a great idea.
