Did 1Password get hacked? The Disney Employee said hackers got into his 1password account.

Hey everyone! I totally understand why this story raised concerns, but I'd like to assure you that 1Password was not hacked and remains secure. 

In this particular case, the attacker compromised the individual’s local device. They intercepted his password using a keylogger, which allowed them to log into 1Password. Once a device is compromised, an attacker has nearly unrestricted access. 

To help protect against attacks that target compromised devices, we recommend:

• Ensure device integrity — keep your devices free from malware by installing security updates, enabling built-in security features, and using endpoint protection tools that actively detect and prevent threats.
• Trust only verified sources — download software exclusively from trusted providers. Avoid unverified applications that could contain hidden malware.
• Strengthen authentication for critical accounts —use phishing-resistant authentication methods like hardware security keys (e.g., YubiKey) or a separate authenticator app to reduce the risk of credential compromise.
• Limit exposure from browser extensions — review and disable unnecessary or untrusted extensions, as they can introduce vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit.
