Hack-αραν το MyFitnessPal

[trib]

Μόλις ... 150 εκατομμύρια λογαριασμοί (ούτε καν 151) έπεσαν θύμα hacking από το "εκπληκτικό" σύστημα ασφαλείας του MyFitnessPal.  Προσωπικά έλαβα e-mail πριν λίγα λεπτά. Μου το έστειλε ο Chief Digital Officer ... αυτοπροσώπως!

To the MyFitnessPal Community:

We are writing to notify you about an issue that may involve your MyFitnessPal account information. We understand that you value your privacy and we take the protection of your information seriously. 

On March 25, 2018, we became aware that during February of this year an unauthorized party acquired data associated with MyFitnessPal user accounts. The affected information included usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords - the majority with the hashing function called bcrypt used to secure passwords. 

Once we became aware, we quickly took steps to determine the nature and scope of the issue. We are working with leading data security firms to assist in our investigation. We have also notified and are coordinating with law enforcement authorities. 

We are taking steps to protect our community, including the following:
We are notifying MyFitnessPal users to provide information on how they can protect their data.
We will be requiring MyFitnessPal users to change their passwords and urge users to do so immediately.
We continue to monitor for suspicious activity and to coordinate with law enforcement authorities.
We continue to make enhancements to our systems to detect and prevent unauthorized access to user information.
We take our obligation to safeguard your personal data very seriously and are alerting you about this issue so you can take steps to help protect your information. We recommend you:
Change your password for any other account on which you used the same or similar information used for your MyFitnessPal account.
Review your accounts for suspicious activity.
Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that ask for your personal data or refer you to a web page asking for personal data.
Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.

Sincerely,

Paul Fipps 
Chief Digital Officer

Το έμαθαν στις 25 Μαρτίου, εμείς 5 ημέρες μετά διότι.... δεν έχουμε και τόσο σημασία. Τα register να γίνονται και να πέφτει το "κασέρι". Μεταξύ των άλλων, αναφέρουν πως οι πιστωτικές μας είναι "ασφαλείς". "Μόνο" το username και το password που "έκλεψαν".
