Sports apparel group Under Armour said on Thursday that data from about 150 million MyFitnessPal diet and fitness app accounts was compromised in February, in one of the biggest hacks in history, sending shares of the group down 3 per cent in after-hours trade. The stolen data includes account usernames, email addresses and scrambled passwords for the popular MyFitnessPal mobile app and website, Under Armour said in a statement. Under Armour said in an alert on its website that it will require MyFitnessPal users to change their passwords, and it urged users to do so immediately. Under Armour said it started notifying users of the breach on Thursday, four days after it first learned of the incident. Under Armour bought MyFitnessPal in 2015 for $475 million (€385 million).
