Why am I getting a message about a data breach when I access the training realms?

• ACT is getting reports that users using Chrome to access the training realms receive a pop-up advising them the password they used was found in a data breach. There is no known data breach. If you access the links using Firefox or Microsoft Edge, you can proceed without the pop-up. If you are using Chrome, please disregard the pop-up message by clicking OK and ignoring the request to change your password. The realm will open for you.
