Security expert Troy Hunt advised customers to cancel their credit card if they think details have been stolen.
PayAsUGym, which sells passes for gyms around the UK, alerted its members to the security breach in an email on Friday which said "one of the company's IT servers was accessed by an unauthorised person".
While it said email addresses and passwords were accessed, it claimed "we do not hold any financial or credit card information".
The company said 300,000 customers details had been stolen.
Partial card details
However, several customers' credit card details - including 10 digits of their card number, the expiry date and their home address - appear to have been published online.
Once alerted by BBC News, PayAsUGym chief executive Jamie Ward said "we didn't consider" that PayAsUGym holds partial credit card details.
He said customers could contact PayAsUGym directly to find out the exact information they hold.
He added: "We've been completely clear with every customer that has contacted us since our original statement on what we hold."
Security expert Mr Hunt, who tracks breached websites, said he came across several people's details online.
Mr Hunt said: "If it was me, and that information was public, I would cancel the card straight away."
Facebook has been accused by the European Commission of misleading it during its investigation of the company's 2014 takeover of WhatsApp.
The Commission says Facebook misled it when the company said it was impossible to match users' Facebook and WhatsApp accounts.
But in August, WhatsApp said it would do just that, by linking users' phone numbers with their Facebook identities.
Facebook said it had nothing to hide and had acted in good faith.
The Commission believes the ability to link the accounts of the two services' users must have existed in 2014, though this is vigorously disputed by Facebook.
If the Commission concludes that it was definitely misled, either by accident or design, it could fine Facebook up to 1% of its turnover, which would amount to hundreds of millions of euros.
"Companies are obliged to give the Commission accurate information during merger investigations," said Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, who is in charge of competition policy,
"In this specific case, the Commission's preliminary view is that Facebook gave us incorrect or misleading information during the investigation into its acquisition of WhatsApp."
'Continued cooperation'
Facebook is being asked to respond by 31 January 2017.
For its part, it says that it was only very early this year that it found a way to establish a link with the accounts of WhatsApp users, via their phone numbers.
And even so, Facebook says in fact it still cannot match accounts with the precision needed for full "cross-platform messaging", which it argues was the Commission's main concern back in 2014.
"We've consistently provided accurate information about our technical capabilities and plans, including in submissions about the WhatsApp acquisition and in voluntary briefings before WhatsApp's privacy policy update this year," said a Facebook spokesman.
"We're pleased that the Commission stands by its clearance decision, and we will continue to cooperate and share information officials need to resolve their questions," he added.
The Commission said its new probe would not undermine its previous decision to approve the $19bn (£16bn) merger of the two companies because it had not relied on the misleading information alone to approve the deal.
Regulatory quagmire
When WhatsApp announced its new policy in August, it justified it by saying this would lead to an improved service, such as providing "more relevant" friend suggestions, letting businesses send adverts directly to users, and also by dealing more effectively with spam and abuse.
But the change has come under scrutiny from regulators across Europe.
The day after the new policy was announced, the UK's Information Commissioner (ICO) launched an immediate investigation to see if the alteration broke the UK's data protection laws.
Then in November the UK's Information Commissioner followed suit and told Facebook not to use the data it had gathered from its WhatsApp users in the UK, saying the firm had not obtained valid consent for the move.
Meanwhile European data regulators in October also asked the two tech companies to stop sharing data while the new policy was scrutinised.
Air passengers could be subjected to a series of "shocking" incidents if security flaws in cabin entertainment systems were abused, say researchers.
Security experts found flaws that let them take over cabin entertainment systems.
The flaws could allow attackers to switch off lights, change altitude readings, display bogus maps and broadcast messages via the PA.
Personal information and credit card data were also accessible via the bugs.
Accidental discovery
The weaknesses were found in the Pansonic Aero in-flight systems by Ruben Santamarta, a researcher at security firm IOActive.
The Aero in-flight systems are used by many different airlines including Virgin, Emirates, AirFrance, American Airlines and KLM.
"Security is not one of the system's main strengths," Mr Santamarta told the BBC, adding that the network of seat-back screens and on-board servers would not be able to withstand "solid attacks" from skilled adversaries.
Mr Santamarta said he started researching the Panasonic systems two years ago when, during a flight to Dubai, he accidentally made the screen for his seat display debug data.
Via online searches he slowly amassed a trove of information about the Aero system that included code that runs on the seat-back units as well as the on-board computers that keep the whole thing running.
"I ended up having all the components in my computer so I could emulate the whole system," he said.
Running a copy of the Aero network let Mr Santamarta winkle out flaws and other bugs that, he said, let him "compromise the entire system".
Travelling on a flight where attackers got access to the Aero system and turned off the cabin lights, broadcast PA messages and changed maps to make it look like a plane was being diverted or was losing altitude would be "shocking", said Mr Santamarta.
The only good news is that it did not seem to be possible to cross from in-flight systems to those that control an aircraft. However, he said, he did not rule out the possibility that some airlines had inadvertently joined the two systems giving attackers a route into flight controls.
Mr Santamarta said IOActive had told Panasonic about its research and the flaws it had found. It also passed its research to the industry group that circulates information about security risks to airlines.
Panasonic has not responded to an request for comment about the IOActive findings.
Google has said it is "thinking deeply" about ways to improve search, after criticism over how some results - including ones discussing the Holocaust - were ranked.
Searching for "did the Holocaust happen?" returned a top result that claimed it did not, as Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr reported.
Now, the ranking has changed for US users.
The page - from white supremacist site Stormfront - remains top in the UK.
"This is a really challenging problem, and something we're thinking deeply about in terms of how we can do a better job," said a Google spokesman.
"Search is a reflection of the content that exists on the web.
"The fact that hate sites may appear in search results in no way means that Google endorses these views."
Image copyrightDANNY SULLIVANImage captionDanny Sullivan has met Google engineers and executives to discuss controversy over some search rankings
Regarding the recent change in rankings on the Holocaust query, editor of news site Search Engine Land Danny Sullivan, believes this was due to external parties' attempts to influence the ordering of results.
Mr Sullivan met Google executives and engineers last week to discuss the issue of questionable result ranking, which also affects other queries about, for example, ethnic minorities.
"I'm as horrified and disappointed by the results as many people are," he told the BBC.
However, he said Google - which processes five billion searches a day - was keen to come up with a solution that was broadly applicable across all searches, rather than just those that have been noticed by users.
"It's very easy to take a search here and there and demand Google change something," explained Mr Sullivan, "and then the next day you find a different search and say, 'why didn't you fix that?' "
'Hate speech'
Ms Cadwalladr has accused Google of disseminating "hate speech".
Other result rankings that she questioned include those for "are women evil?" and "are muslims bad?".
The BBC has also found that some additional queries, including ones without negative terms, also produce controversial answers.
For example, searching for "are black people smart?" in the UK returns a "featured snippet" at the top of the results that claims "black people are significantly less intelligent than all other races".
Image captionSome searches have questionable results at the top
Mr Sullivan added that it was far more common for users to search for simple terms, such as "Holocaust" rather than "did the Holocaust happen?" and that the phrasing of the question also affected result rankings.
He added, however, that Bing - Microsoft's search engine - seemed to be doing "a better job" with these sorts of queries, though it was "not immune" to the issue.
"It seems to be rewarding Wikipedia more than Google does," he said.
'No neutral algorithms'
Some of the concern around the impact that Google search results have on people's perceptions and beliefs stems from research that shows young people, in particular, are increasingly trusting of the site.
An Ofcom report last month found that the proportion of 12 to 15 year-olds turning to Google for "true and accurate information about things that are going on in the world" had shot up to 30% this year, compared to 17% in 2015.
More than a quarter of eight to 15 year-olds surveyed believed that if Google lists information then it can be trusted.
It was important to note that there is no such thing as an "impartial" or "neutral" algorithm, according to Prof Mark Graham at the Oxford Internet Institute.
"There is no correct answer to some issues," he said, but added that Google was still in a position of responsibility.
Image copyrightAFPImage captionGoogle has said it is "thinking deeply" about the problem
"Absolutely they should face scrutiny because they occupy this position of immense power - they mediate a vast amount of the world's digital information," he told the BBC.
"I don't think it's good enough to just point to their algorithms and say, 'Well, this is the most popular, this gets the most clicks'."
As for tackling the proliferation of hate speech, Prof Graham pointed out that many countries around the world have guidelines over what is and is not acceptable - guidelines that Google could, potentially, adopt.
"They don't have to build those ideas from scratch," he said.

I'm not really declaring understanding the theory of precisely how routers and switches job is insignificant. Just the opposite - unless you know networking theory, you aren't likely to turn into a Cisco certified network associate or CCNP.
Getting a CCNA / CCNP home laboratory is the ideal approach to be entirely equipped for your Cisco assessments. Nearly all home labs are generally place with each other one router or switch at one time, but the majority of CCNA / CCNP individuals would prefer to purchase kits in which you obtain several routers and switches, alongside many of the cables as well as other connection instruments you will require.
Although this is a good suggestion, have a very few things in your mind when buying Cisco residence lab kits.
Do not buy anything at all you don't require. The trouble is that when you find yourself first beginning out along with your Cisco house lab, you do not understand every little thing that you may need. (I convinced didn't!) Remember the fact that you just want a single transceiver per AUI interface on the Cisco router, and if you're obtaining routers along with a couple of AUI ports in almost all, it is not necessary five transceivers in the kit. It won't hurt to acquire one additional, but 3 is a little an excessive amount.
Most importantly, do not buy kits together with outdated CCNA or CCNP study instructions incorporated. I have seen kits with training books that had been 3 years previous plus were useless to your candidate. If you notice a kit that appears very good but involves publications or guides you merely will not want, inquire the vendor for a cost which doesn't consist of the guides. It never damages to question.
Watch the IOS version. Except if you have got entry to IOS upgrades, you will be dealing with the IOS edition that's about the routers and also switches any time you pick the kit for a short time. You may not always want the most recent as well as finest IOS version regarding Cisco certified network associate analysis, but don't invest in routers with IOS versions beginning from "10" until you offer an IOS to improve them along with. (And ensure the particular routers have sufficient memory to take care of the IOS you intend on putting on them.)
Buying a Cisco CCNA / CCNP Residence Lab is among the best investments within your career that you'll ever create. Exercise slightly of careful attention when purchasing your kit, and will also be moving toward accurate Cisco accomplishment, in the examination room and also on your system!
Build a Cisco house lab. Once you begin working together with authentic Cisco equipment, you're undertaking yourself a wide range of prefers. Very first, you will be surprised about how good you continue information that can become second design to you ahead of test day. Yet even more important, both pertaining to the test room along with your career, you are establishing important problem solving capabilities.
Don't misunderstand me; I'm not really declaring understanding the theory of precisely how routers and switches job is insignificant. Just the opposite - unless you know networking theory, you aren't likely to turn into a Cisco certified network associate or CCNP. Though the capability to implement that understanding is essential - plus the only way you can acquire that may be to be effective on actual Cisco routers and switches. As for these types of "router simulators" currently available, consider this easy question: "When I go into a server room, just how many router simulators do I see?"

Since becoming popular sometime in the 1960s, medical transcription has come a long way and is now one of the quickest growing industries.
The practice has been predominant in many western countries and has only recently become better known in India. Medical transcription is mainly associated with the healthcare and medical industry.
With the pace at which technology is moving, practically all kinds of jobs are now easier to complete. For instance, manual labor, whether lifting or writing, has become easier and quicker to accomplish.
This can particularly be seen with digital records today, which are now very easy and simple to create. Thanks to the introduction of transcription software, medical institutions have found audio transcription very easy to obtain. The combination of audio transcription and transcription software is critical to medical transcription companies in their day to day routines as it helps minimize errors while increasing productivity.
Due to the advancements in speech recognition, the way medical transcriptionists work has changed drastically.
All dictation software is not created in the same way and some are made and used specifically for assisting medical transcription companies with their business. With the help of the right software, medical dictations carried out by transcriptionists become less tedious and faster to complete.
The average lifespan of a data center is considered to be around 15 to 20 years. To extend this, quality data centers are “future-proofing” themselves starting with the design process.

In the world of safety there is a concept referred to as blood priority, which refers to the unfortunate notion that people wait until there is a crisis before they respond, even when they have long known of the problem. So it is with fossil fuels a finite resource mankind has know was diminishing for decades, but over which are only now beginning to react. The solution will be many-pronged, but switching to LED lighting can make a huge difference.
Because transportation is such a vital part of the modern world, the primary focus on energy remains on gasoline. The so-called oil shock in 1972 demonstrated how tied to fuel our economy and lives had become, and the connection is even clearer today. At the same time, people realize the enormous damage to the environment that burning coal and oil cause.
Luminescence is almost always taken for granted, with the exception of power outages from storms or the occasional power line failure. In truth, every building needs light for it to be functional, even those with plenty of widows need lights at night. Mankind is no longer able to live within the limits of the daylight hours.
Most suggestions that result in a net decrease in power consumption require the loss of some convenience, like hanging clothes out to dry, or keeping the thermostat at less than desired settings. The reluctance to compromise convenience or comfort makes most of these ideas only marginally successful. The notion of changing our source of luminescence from incandescent or fluorescent to light emitting diodes, however, impacts neither convenience or comfort.
The differences in how luminescence is created from electricity accounts for the difference in efficiency. An incandescent bulb produces illumination by heating a filament until it glows, using most of the energy to produce heat, and only some to produce luminescence. A light emitting diode captures the photons released when electrons shift levels of energy, creating almost no heat.
The standard light bulb has in use in homes and offices for over 130 years, with the fluorescent bulb its only challenger until recently. Individually, they require little power at reasonable cost, but with around 50 per house-hold, the cost is not insignificant. Each home in the United States could reduce power consumption by nearly 10,000 KW with almost a thousand dollars in savings.
With an approximate 115 million households, just changing the bulbs in homes to light emitting diode types could potentially reduce energy consumption by 1.13 trillion KWh annually. Without reducing any illumination or incurring any hardship, the savings could be more than all the electricity produced at all the nuclear power plants in the US, or at 150 coal power plants which introduce 550 million tons of carbon dioxide in the air each year.
The diode bulbs allow manufacturers to make them in many sizes, from room bulbs to the tiny light sources in high definition television. They have a lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours compared with 700 for an incandescent model. Switching to LED lighting can help end dependence on fossil fuels, save money and do it all while maintaining the same luminescence people expect.
Apple showed off the massively anticipated iPhone 5 for the first time in San Francisco on Wednesday morning (September 12, 2012). The brand new handset is the successor to the popular iPhone 4S and it brings more new features expected than the previous version does.
