Hopefully people using the service and those interested in it will read past sensationalist articles, and actually check out the service.

The sad thing is that most people who were previously unfamiliar with LastPass probably won't dare to try it out now. That's the kind of press LastPass just didn't deserve.

Actually I've decided to give LastPass a shot DUE to how well they've handled this, and knowing that they will probably have a sufficiently paranoid response to situations in the future, as well as knowing they have an excellent hash algorithm in place.

Unfortunately you are right for the overwhelming majority of users who will see "LastPass Hacked!" then note "Don't use LastPass".

They are good at what they do. But they might become more careful about disclosing the problems next time.
