So the MyFinessPal data breach has finally surfaced online…

MyFitnessPal: In February 2018, the diet and exercise service MyFitnessPal suffered a data breach. The incident exposed 144 million unique email addresses alongside usernames, IP addresses and passwords stored as SHA-1 and bcrypt hashes (the former for earlier accounts, the latter for newer accounts). In 2019, the data appeared listed for sale on a dark web marketplace (along with several other large breaches) and subsequently began circulating more broadly. The data was provided to HIBP by a source who requested it to be attributed to “BenjaminBlue@exploit.im”.

Compromised data: Email addresses, IP addresses, Passwords, Usernames

Just yesterday I got this about my account - a year after the event.

Not very timely.

Thanks, done. Remembered that thread but couldn’t seem to find it. Surprised its not already on there as it was confirmed last year!

In fairness though, the data breach was on sale on the dark web for a long while and is not exactly easy to get hold of. HIBP won’t have been able to get the data any sooner if its not freely available.

Thanks. I am not really up on the “dark” side of things, but the registration blurb with pwned did suggest that their awareness of (and notification of) data misuse might give me time to take some action. Luckily my e-mail clients block a lot of the rubbish so generally no action be me is needed. R-

They mean they try to tell you as soon as data is made public, but obviously hackers can be using it long before it surfaces for sale.
If you’re still using the same passwords anywhere as you were for MFP at the time of the breach, make sure you change them. Avoid reusing passwords, and change the ones for your sensitive accounts occasionally.
