Experts reckon people have brute forced stolen LastPass data and gained access to user data

Remember all those LastPass hacks that made the news the last year or so? A "steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults". CEO of MetaMask (a cryptocurrency wallet) and Chainalysis have a strong hunch that there's a growing group of tech savvy people who have had their crypto wallets drained and have no signs of phishing or hacking. The only thing they have in common is the storage of credentials in LastPass. LastPass isn't answering questions, "citing an ongoing law enforcement investigation and pending litigation". Disturbing is true. I wonder if 1Password's cloud storage carries the same risks?
