Just read there was a data breach on My Fitness Pal and everyone is being urged to change their passwords immed. This info came from my antivirius software company.
Also,. I am looking for the April sign up and do not see it listed....0 -
@Ceceev. MFP are doing the appropriate "duty of care" in informing people of the security breach.
As for whether this of major concern is a different matter (part of my professional life involves IT security).
By and large, the hackers will not bother with the password list. It is not worth the effort and the computing resources to try breaking.
What was stolen includes one-way hashed passwords with salt. The way a password is determined as correct is that the entered password has the users salt data added then processed by the one way hash process. The resultant binary data is compared against the users stored binary password data and if matched, then the login is successful.
What this means is that the password cannot be retrieved without a brute force attack (ie. running it against a dictionary). The salt means that even if 2 users have the same password, the one-way hashed password result is different. Each password must be checked against each attempt with salt added. This makes orders of magnitude harder (and often not worth the effort, even if the cracker can do in excess of 10,000 passwords attempts per second - and yes some can). The longer and more involved your password (upper/lower case, numbers, special characters), the less likely it is to be able to be decrypted even by a brute force attack.
A full brute force attack on a hard to guess 8 character password with numbers, special characters, upper and lower case that can check 1,000,000 passwords per seconds would take on average 1100 *YEARS*. With the salt this is to do *ONE* users password. Each extra character cumulatively multiplies this timeframe by about 100.
As there is no financial data listed as stolen, there is not enough data stolen to conduct identity theft. At worst if your email password is the same as your MFP password *AND* your MFP password was easy to guess, then MAYBE you may be of enough interest to have an issue.
As a precaution, change any password that is the same as your MFP password that is associated with your email address AND change your MFP password.
The biggest coup from the hackers standpoint is the email addresses matched with names. This can be sold as an interest list to spammers (people interested in weight management). With the names added to the email address list, it increases the chance the spammers can get through the spam filters of your email supplier (personally addressed mail has a MUCH higher chance of getting through).
Beyond this there is little cause for concern.

Thankyou for the explanation Craig, although I’ll leave this up to you, I understand very little apart from ‘change your password’

Exercised?: Yes. Setup of drone race track and a day's drone racing.
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Good day. Nice weather and not too windy. Flying skills seem to be improving (flew well today).
New month starts tomorrow.craigo3154 wrote: »...
Each month I post my goals for the month. It helps keep me focused. They are often the same month to month, but it is what I aspire to maintain.
Personal goals for March:- Be in winners circle (track everything, keep under budget, 20+ mins exercise per day, no more than 3 pass days).
- Stay between 64kg and 70kg (full maintenance maintenance trying not to go too low but allow it to bounce up a bit too. 70kg is still well inside the normal BMI range for me.).
- Stay honest (even if it puts me out of the circle for the month) and continue past failings (forgive mistakes and keep moving forward).
- Encourage others where possible.
How I did:- Be in winners circle (track everything, keep under budget, 20+ mins exercise per day, no more than 3 pass days). Success - All days tracked and under, activity every day (except two).
- Stay between 64kg and 75kg (full maintenance maintenance trying not to go too low but allow it to bounce up a bit too. Feeling fine spending the entire of last month well under 70kg, seems now like for me it should be healthy and sustainable. Still have 75kg as my upper limit as it is still just in normal BMI range for me.). Technical fail - Got as low as 63.8kg (March 30 - only day), but mostly round the 65kg for most of the month.
- Stay honest (even if it puts me out of the circle for the month) and continue past failings (forgive mistakes and keep moving forward). Success - No failures in honesty I can recall.
- Encourage others where possible. Really for others to judge this, but I try. Do not read as much as I should, just time gets away from me. I also run another challenge here on MFP, but UAC is still my favourite.

Loved your explanation too. Like Sherlock or Poirot.
Yes x 3. A spinning class this morning and a walk this afternoon (at a toddler's pace hut she goes off piste which adds steps. She found a path today with steps we counted: 100. The last time Id climbed them was at 41 weeks pregnant trying to encourage her to come out so it made me smile that she chose that route).
Thanks for the ride fellow passengers. See you all in April!3 -

Went for an early walk over the Wetlands today. I’ve never been on a Saturday on that particular trail before and it was busy with cyclists, runners, walkers and dog walkers. Saw two Coyotes, a few cottontails and a beautiful Great Egret.
Happy Easter!
