Under Armour Reveals MyFitnessPal Data Breach

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Under Amour says the personal details of about 150 million MyFitnessPal users have been accessed in a data breach. The US fitness brand, which owns the nutrition and fitness app, said the hack took place in February this year but was not spotted until a month later. We speak to a MyFitnessPal user and ask security researcher Ken Monroe, from Pen Test Partners, what the hackers might want with the data. US retail giant Walmart is reportedly negotiating a move into the health sector with insurer Humana - Dana Mattioli has been covering the negotiations for the Wall Street Journal. Plus, as pubs in the Republic of Ireland open on Good Friday for the first time in almost a century we ask Robert Byrne, who runs Bobby Byrne's Pub in Limerick, whether he's experienced a big sales boost. And Dan Thomas reports on the growing number of young men using make-up and asks whether male cosmetics is about to go mainstream. (Picture: Under Armour clothing. Credit: Getty Images)
