BRThe problem is often caused by heat stress and uneven
BRmoisture while the tomato is getting ripe. As long as the
BRleaves of the plant look good, I wouldn't worry about it.
BRIf you see the leaves turing yellow (sometimes with black
BRspots) it is an indication of tomato blight and that is
BRsomething to worry about.

I wonder how the blight is spread?

Any recovery possible, or dump those before infecting others?

Ciao, Ack.
