Account takeover notice

AARP.org notified users of unauthorized attempts to access their accounts. The filing says: “Please be aware that this was not the result of any security failure of AARP; rather, we believe your credentials were obtained through a breach of another entity and were later used by an unauthorized person or entity to attempt access to your AARP.org account using those same credentials.”
