Re: Forced Update
Thats the driver and the incentive to update. You do not have access to your precious items until you first fix the flaws for the safe in which they reside.

No IE?
"... its browser extensions for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge ..."

I just noticed IE is not mentioned in here, is it like nobody cares or no bugs in IE? I would be surprised if IE stands up among others :--).

Quick fix
"... The problem was immediately fixed in a new version of the extension 4.1.36a released the next day. ..."

On this, kudos to LastPass, they can quickly deploy apps.

Re: Forced Update
"... application support should not be allowed until update happens ..."

That is a great idea, I do not know how to identify when the updates are ready and how are the people going to login their apps without it in the meantime.

LastPass
This is not the first problem LastPass had problems, that is why I do not use any of these passwords apps.

Forced Update
I think in instances where a users credentials could be compromised that application support should not be allowed until update happens. If this update was forced out then kudos to a great job.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
