I would suggest changing your password ASAP.

Did anyone get an email or anything that there was a hack at MFP?

If you use the same password here as elsewhere (which I'm sure a lot do) I would highly suggest changing it here and elsewhere too.

Oh I'm NOT clicking on that link. Just sayin.

Sorry? It's Engadget, probably the bigget tech website in the world.

Google Engadget yourself and the story is on the front page.

MFP was hacked along with a bunch of other sites too.

quick shoutout to Lastpass. makes it easier to use individualized, unique, and hopelessly obscure passwords to every site you use, and you all gotta do is remember the master password for your lastpass account instead.

Okay, mine is now 4321 instead of 1234. That should fool them.

The hack happened in February of 2018. My Fitness Pal notified all users of the hack and instructed everyone to change their passwords.

Thanks for that, I must have missed the email!

Issue is the data has just been posted for sale on the dark web. So if you use the same passwords elsewhere they could use that to cross-hack.

Changed password anyway just in case!
