My Fitness Pal Has Been Hacked.

I just saw on the news that My Fitness Pal has been hacked. Payment details are safe but other details like email addresses may have been compromised. I don’t use it but I know a lot of you do so thought I’d post:

Thank you for sharing this. I use it to track carbs and etc and recently upgraded to the premium plan.

Signed up, never used it, so deleted the account.

Hit the news quickly here in Canada

Would have preferred they had not waited 4 days to warn customers.

The Baltimore-based company became aware of the breach on March 25, 2018, and notified users of the incident four days later via an email alert.

I have not used MFP for a fair while, but I did what they suggested and changed my password. Took all of one minute after receiving the email from them to make my account secure again.

I received an email from their Chief to change my password.
You?

I’ve never registered for an account! Just saw it on the news yesterday.

I was using it, but not been able to get on for a while

I received an email but can find no record of having registered.

Then again it is an account that is widely known, and is quite often used as a registration email by people messing about.

Edit: O.K. - found some emails from way back. Now to see if I can guess my old password.
Edit 2: Changed my password. Looks as though I joined in June 2014.
