BALTIMORE (AP) — Clothing retailer Under Armour is investigating a recent data breach that purloined customers' email addresses and other personal information, but so far there are no signs the hackers stole any passwords or financial information.
The breach is believed to have happened late last year, and affected 72 million email addresses, according to information cited by the cybersecurity website Have I Been Pwned. Some of the records taken also included personal information that included names, genders, birthdates and ZIP codes.
In an Under Armour statement acknowledging its investigation into the claims of a data breach, the Baltimore-based company said: “We have no evidence to suggest this issue has affected UA.com or systems used to process payments or store customer passwords. Any implication that sensitive personal information of tens of millions of customers has been compromised is unfounded.”
Have I Been Pwned CEO Troy Hunt said that he agrees with Under Armour's assertion, based on the information that has emerged so far. But he also said he was surprised by the lack of an official disclosure statement from the company.
“That’s unusual, especially given the size of the organisation, the scale of the breach and the amount of time that has passed since the incident,” Hunt, based in Australia, wrote by email Thursday. “In their defence, they’re also the corporate victim of malicious criminal activity and I’m sure they’ve had their hands full dealing with the fallout.”

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz had to acknowledge that while he won the third-round match, he lost the battle of the drop shots against Corentin Moutet.
That could be a first for the 22-year-old Spaniard, who grew up relentlessly practicing his drop shots and is now at the Australian Open chasing a career Grand Slam.
The left-handed Moutet mixed things up for Alcaraz in an almost festival Friday vibe on Rod Laver Arena, his blend of drop shots, slice, lobs, tweeners, volleys and even an underarm serve keeping the world's No. 1-ranked player on his toes.
“When you play someone like Corentin you don’t know what’s going to be next,” Alcaraz said after his 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 win over the No. 32 seed. “I had so much fun on the court. As you could see, we both pulled off great shots. Great points.”
Late in the first set, he said he was already fed up with tracking down drop shots and told his support team “I’m not going to run to get those.”
“I thought we were in a drop-shot competition," he said, laughing, "but he won!”
Ever the showman, Alcaraz chimed in with some of his own tricks and tweeners across three sets. It helped him stay composed, even when Moutet went on a four-game roll in the second set.
In the first round, Moutet was booed by the crowd for his underarm serve on match point. For his debut on the main arena, there was much more love from the Aussie crowd.
When he held in that game with a winning volley, he marked it by doffing his cap.
Alcaraz will next play Sunday against No. 19 Tommy Paul, who advanced when Alejandro Davidovich Fokina retired with an injury after dropping the first two sets 6-1, 6-1.
No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 3 Coco Gauff had tough routes through the third round.
Sabalenka said there were times she felt like her head, her hands and her racket were not connected but she still had just enough to squeeze past Anastasia Potapova 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7).
Gauff weathered early trouble against Hailey Baptiste before advancing 3-6, 6-0-6-3, cutting down her unforced errors and not serving any double-faults in the second set. She next plays No. 19 Karolina Muchova.
Sabalenka , chasing her third Australian Open title in four years, led 6-5 and 40-0 in her opening set but Potapova saved all three set points to send it to a tiebreaker.
In the second set, Potapova recovered two service breaks to level it at 4-4 and then again force a tiebreaker. Potapova then had three set points but Sabalenka rallied when the pressure was on.
“She played incredible tennis,” Sabalenka said. “I was always on the back foot. There are days where you just have to fight — it was such a fight.”
Sabalenka won the Australian Open title in 2023 and 2024 and was the runner-up a year ago to Madison Keys.
She next faces rising star Victoria Mboko, who beat 14th-seeded Clara Tauson 7-6 (5), 5-7, 6-3.
Sabalenka said she watched some of the Canadian teenager's matches and made notes: “She’s a fighter. She’s playing really good, aggressive tennis.”
Another teenager advanced when 18-year-old Iva Jovic beat No. 7 Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 7-6 (3). Jovic said after being broken twice while serving for the match that she decided to go out swinging.
Jovic said some advice she got from 24-time major winner Novak Djokovic the previous day helped her focus and beat a top-10 player for the first time.
“He gave me some very attentive tips for my game,” the American said. “That was one of the things in the forefront of my mind, because I think when Novak gives you some advice, you follow it.”
She'll next play Yulia Putintseva, who shrugged off a vocal crowd to end Turkish player Zeynep Sonmez 's run, 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-3.
No. 12 Elina Svitolina of Ukraine beat Diana Shnaider of Russia 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Daniil Medvedev rallied from two sets down for a 6-7 (5), 4-6, 7-5, 6-0, 6-3 comeback win over Fabian Marozsan, the fifth time he's rallied from 0-2 to win a Grand Slam match.
The 2021 U.S. Open champion now has a rematch with Learner Tien, who upset him in a second-round five-setter here last year.
