The Diet.com data leak occurred in 2014 and affected 1,383,759 records. The breach resulted from a security vulnerability in a third-party login service used by the dieting website, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to user accounts.


The leaked data included sensitive information such as usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. Additionally, the attackers gained access to protected health data, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels, weight, and other health metrics.


Diet.com discovered the breach on July 11, 2014, and immediately suspended user login activity. The company worked with forensic experts to investigate the incident and notified affected users of the breach.


In the aftermath of the incident, Diet.com reset all user passwords, implemented additional security measures, and provided affected users with credit monitoring services.


The leak highlights the importance of robust security measures and regular security testing to prevent such breaches. Additionally, it underscores the need for users to be vigilant and proactive in protecting their personal data.


The full extent of the damage caused by the breach is not publicly known, as Diet.com did not release the specific number of affected users. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks posed by online data storage and the importance of prioritizing data security.
