I have used LastPass for almost a decade. I loved it. I gave their first message about a possible breach a pass, giving them the benefit of the doubt. The most recent press releases scared me.

I changed my master password, exported all my data, imported it into 1Password, and deleted my LastPass account entirely.

Next was an afternoon changing over a hundred passwords, first banking and financial sites followed by others so that if someone does get that data it is useless. I also use 2-factor authentication via an authenticator app whenever possible. But that also gave me an opportunity to clean up all those reused or slightly varied passwords in favor of 100% unique unguessable passwords, so I feel better than ever about my password security.

Like you, I have no schadenfreude for a company I trusted for years. Worst part was my subscription had just renewed 3 days before their latest communication. $30 down the drain, but I'll take the hit to protect my online identities.
