My Fitness Pal Data Breach



Saw this today then wondered what the hackers would get out of seeing what I ate for the past five years, and how fat I was.

On it's own probably nothing. The value is that most people use the same username & password for everything so it opens up other opportunities. Even if they can't use it for a direct hack of something financial there's still a lot of money to be made by gathering loads of information on an individual & selling it to identity thieves, or companies like Cambridge Analytica.
