the sportswear company announces that its app MyFitness Pal has experienced a data breach that compromised 150 million user accounts. The fitness app comprises a calorie counter and exercise journal, available for free on iOS and Android.
The breach has compromised user details such as email, usernames, addresses, and encrypted passwords. MyFitnessPal is urging users to change their passwords immediately.
The breach has not exposed particularly sensitive user data such as credit card or social security numbers, but the scale of the attack has affected the stock of Under Armour and may continue to do so in the coming days. The shares of the company have dropped by four percent. The company is now working with law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity firms to trace the source of the breach.
