Serious question: Why the F does MyFitnessPal need someone's SSN or Driver's License number? ...Isn't the point to track your food intake and weight?
Just be sure you’re not reusing passwords across sites! A common thing now is to take these lists with email login + password and hit other sites hoping to get lucky that you reused your password at a bank or email account and then screw you over.Oh no...now the world will know that I ate cheesecake for dinner last night.
The author has a very poor writing style. Not just in this article, but numerous others.
Serious question, how do you know who wrote it? MacRumors has multiple contributors and I never know who wrote what unless they respond in the thread and claim credit.
The whole site is a waste of space -- the data is crowd sourced and it's often totally inaccurate and not verified -- don't rely on to check for saturated fats and trans fat numbers!
This font could stand to do a few crunches and eat some veggies. It's a bit overweight.The whole site is a waste of space -- the data is crowd sourced and it's often totally inaccurate and not verified -- don't rely on to check for saturated fats and trans fat numbers!
That's not good news. I don't really have any important info on there but doesn't make me feel good about using the service. Anyone have alternatives?
Please read the release and other comments.why on earth would sites need such personal information like driver license and SSN? if i see one that asks for it and aren't governement website / for official business like tax stuff / applying for visa etc etc, i wont want to give it out at all.
why are people enabling these social giants to obtain these kind of informations. i hope some bravesoul would just come out and do a huge class action lawsuit against these social giants for collecting personal information because this would always end up getting hacked and they walk away scott free. even their shares on the stock market doesnt change much at all. life is unfair

I have changed the password on MyFitnessPal account and the email associated with it, I have various accounts for apps and websites which use the same password I used for MyFitnessPal but the accounts aren’t associated with MyFitnessPal or the email associated my MyFitnessPal account so am I safe not changing the passwords for other apps or websites I am registered to
Hi, thanks for your reply. I have 2 emails, only one was used for MyFitnessPal and my other email isn’t associated with MyFitnessPal or the email I used for MyFitnessPal, the email I used for MyFitnessPal had no information on my other email address, could these hackers still get in to my other email which isn’t anything to do with the other emailIf the breacher now has your email, and a way to decrypt your password, they can begin attempts to log in to other apps/websites.
Change your passwords on other sites. I know... it sucks.
A hashed password is a secured way of storing some data typically with a hash generator, and a known key.
We know the hashed password text has been taken by the culprits, they know what hash generator was used, now they need to know the key.
