MyFitnessPal confirms 150,000,000 accounts have been breached

Sportswear company Under Armour confirmed accounts from the website and app, which it owns, had been hacked. Information accessed included usernames, emails and encrypted passwords. Under Armour added government-issued identifiers such as Social Security numbers and driver licence numbers and payment card data, were not accessed.




The company said it became aware of the breach on March 25 and has started notifying users. Under Armour is working with data security firms to assist in its investigation and also coordinating with law enforcement authorities. MyFitnessPal is available on both Apple and Android and allows users to track calories, set exercise goals, integrate data from other devices and share achievements on social media networks such as Facebook. Under Armour bought the company in 2015 for $475 million (£338m).
