Approximately how many accounts is "a small subset of Flightradar24 users"?
Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

No, the only people that are potentially affected have been emailed. Those who didn't receive the email are in the clear. Also, please note that forum accounts are not affected.

I got this email also, but thought it was a Phishing email at first.
Might I suggest to the staff that send these emails that they go not include a clickable link, instead requesting users go to the Flight Radar24 website, login and change the password like that manually.
Most banks do this nowadays.
Have changed my password now. Does this include the Forum accounts or just the main FR24 website accounts?

We can confirm that the email some of our users received in regards to a security breach has been sent by us. The security breach may have compromised the email addresses and hashed passwords for a small subset of Flightradar24 users (those who registered prior to March 16, 2016).
We would like to apologize that this breach occurred and for the inconvenience this may cause. We would also like to stress that we have no indication any of personal information was compromised.
The security breach was limited to one server and it was promptly shut down once the intrusion attempt had been ascertained. An email has been sent to users with affected accounts.
Please note that no payment information has been compromised. Flightradar24 neither handles nor stores payment information.
We recommend to change the password for your FR24 account. In case youÂ’ve used the same password anywhere else, we strongly suggest you update it there as well.
If you'd also like to change the email address of your Flightradar24 account, please email us via support@fr24.com providing both the old and the new email addresses. Also, it's possible to change the password directly via our website if you prefer.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconveniences caused. Our team will continue our thorough internal security review of our system and processes to see what more we can do to ensure that this never happens again.

Dear Flightradar24 user,
I regret to inform you that late last week we identified a security breach that may have compromised the email addresses and hashed passwords (see explanation below) for a small subset of Flightradar24 users (those who registered prior to March 16, 2016), including you.
Is it yours?
Thx,
federbear.

It is odd that there is no message from FR24 on twitter, facebook, etc. in this regard. Also no entry about this on the fr24 webpage.
Edit: Just saw it in the comments on facebook/fr24 that the mail is legitimate.

So it is still an open question, and I hope they answer it as soon as possible.
