Under Armour announces data breach, affecting 150 million MyFitnessPal app accounts


(Christopher Dilts/Bloomberg News)The athletic wear company Under Armour disclosed Thursday that data tied to its fitness app was breached this year, affecting 150 million user accounts. Under Armour said that the breach occurred in February, but the company discovered the hack on March 25. The company said it is continuing to investigate the incident and coordinating with law enforcement and "leading data security firms." The breach notice recommends that users review their accounts and avoid clicking links from suspicious sources. According to Under Armour, the app does not collect Social Security or driver's license numbers from users, so that information was not exposed.
