“Email addresses are valuable for spammers because the attackers would know that active, real users are behind these addresses,” said Engin Kirda, a professor at Northeastern University in Boston. And the sheer scope of the attack - affecting a user base that’s bigger than the population of Japan - would make it one of the larger breaches on record. Still, user names, email addresses and password data were taken. The data didn’t include payment-card information or government-issued identifiers, including Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers. The stock had been up 13 percent this year through Thursday’s close. Shares of Under Armour fell as much as 4.6 percent to $15.59 in late trading following the announcement. It became aware of the breach earlier this week and took steps to alert users about the incident, the company said. An unauthorized party stole data from the accounts in late February, Under Armour said on Thursday.
