Under Armour says MyFitnessPal data breach affects 150 million user accounts

If you've ever used MyFitnessPal, then you should be aware of a new data breach.

Under Armour says that personal details of around 150 million MyFitnessPal user accounts have been breached. The breach occurred in late February 2018, but Under Armour didn't learn about it until March 25, 2018.

The user data that was affected includes user names, email addresses, and hashed passwords, the majority of which have the hashing function called bcrypt used to secure passwords. Under Armour says that government identifiers like Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers were not affected.

Under Armour is currently investigating the breach and is working on the matter with "leading data security firms" as well as law enforcement.

It's good to hear that information like SSNs weren't a part of this breach, but this is still a big deal for Under Armour and MyFitnessPal users. Under Armour says that it has begun notifying MyFitnessPal users about the breach using both email and in-app messaging, so if you've used MyFitnessPal in the past, you should keep an eye out for a message from Under Armour.
