New Roku breach impacted 576,000 accounts, less than 400 actually compromised

Roku says that out of 576,000, in less than 400 cases, fraud actors were able to log in to user accounts and make unauthorized purchases of streaming service subscriptions and Roku hardware products.

The company, however, assures that no sensitive personal data, such as full credit card details, were accessed during the hacks.

The company has also reset the password of affected users and has notified them.

“We also are refunding or reversing charges for the small number of accounts where we’ve determined that unauthorized actors made purchases of streaming service subscriptions or Roku hardware products using a payment method stored in these accounts,” wrote the company.

Roku has also enabled two-factor authentication for all, even the users that weren’t affected.

The next time you try to log in to your Roku account, you’ll receive a 2FA code on your connected email.
