One catastrophic blast radius. 01 ### Cloud Vault Exposure Encrypted or not, a cloud password vault is permanently online. When the provider is breached, your entire credential set is exfiltrated in one go. 02 ### Master Key Single Point Of Failure One stolen master password, session token or device unlocks everything. Phishing, malware and SIM-swap attacks all converge on this single key. 03 ### Crypto Seed Phrase Theft Seed phrases stored in notes apps, screenshots or cloud password managers are routinely harvested. Once gone, the funds are gone. The reality ## This is already happening to credential vaults. Every incident below is a matter of public record. Each one involved data that was reachable from a live network at the moment of compromise. 01 ### LastPass: ICO Fined £1.2M After 1.6 Million UK Vaults Exposed The ICO fined LastPass £1.2 million for failures that allowed hackers to steal encrypted password vaults and personal information of 1.6 million UK customers. The ICO described the measures as unacceptable for a security company. ICO, December 2025 02 ### Co-op: 6.5 Million Members' Credentials and Data Stolen Attackers exfiltrated personal data of all 6.5 million Co-op members, including account credentials and personal information that could be used for credential-stuffing attacks. BBC News, 2025 03 ### Capita: £14M Fine, Credential Management Failures Cited The ICO fined Capita £14 million, explicitly citing inadequate credential and access management controls that allowed attackers to move laterally through systems. ICO, October 2025 Password Vault > Your most sensitive data deserves protection that goes beyond software. Firevault provides the only storage that is physically disconnected from design. The Scenario ### One vault. Everything gone. A high-net-worth individual stores their master password and crypto seed phrase in a leading cloud password manager. The provider is breached. Within 72 hours, £2.3M of digital assets are drained and personal accounts compromised across banking, email and identity. With a Firevault Password Vault, those credentials would never have been online to steal. "If a single password unlocks your entire life, it should not live on the internet." The OSS Password Vault ## Store the keys to everything offline. Your master credentials, seed phrases and recovery codes live inside a physically disconnected vault. They cannot be remotely phished, scraped or exfiltrated, because there is no connection to attack. - Offline Secure Storage for master passwords and root credentials, offline by default and reachable per session - Tamper-evident custody for crypto seed phrases and hardware wallet backups - Offline 2FA backup codes and recovery keys, retrievable on authorised request - Physical retrieval only, no remote access, ever Remove Step 1 Disconnect Step 2 Retrieve Step 3 #### Take Credentials Off Connected Password Managers Step 1 of 3 Master credentials, seed phrases, and recovery codes are taken off connected password managers and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. No cloud vault. No always-on target.
