Netgear asks Arlo customers to change passwords in light of security threat

If you own an Arlo security camera, listen up: Netgear is asking its Arlo customers to change their passwords after observing suspicious activity involving attackers trying to get access to user accounts. The forum post notes that Arlo has no evidence of a security breach of its own systems.

Attackers appear to be using Arlo user credentials gleaned from an unknown third-party source (i.e., a leak outside of Arlo) in order to get unauthorized access to their accounts.
