Here is a 184 word summary of the news article: LastPass, a popular password manager, has warned that its brand is being impersonated by the Atomic credential stealer malware. Atomic is a potent malware that targets macOS devices and steals sensitive user data like passwords and credit card information. The malware is distributed through fake LastPass installers, tricking users into downloading and installing the malicious software. Once installed, Atomic can steal passwords, banking information, and other credentials stored in the victim's browser or password manager. LastPass has urged users to be cautious of any LastPass downloads or updates not directly from the official LastPass website or app stores. The company recommends keeping software up-to-date, using strong and unique passwords, and enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible to protect against such attacks.

Vigilance and proper security practices are crucial to avoid falling victim to such sophisticated social engineering and malware campaigns.
