The Organization determined that the unauthorized access to the online accounts was caused by a credential stuffing bot attack. The Organization reported that the incident did not arise based on a breach of its security safeguards. It reported that the incident involved the apparent reuse of credentials (usernames and passwords) that may have been obtained in third-party hacking incidents in an attempt to access the online accounts of its users who use the same username and password on multiple websites.
