Hackers breached 15,363 Roku accounts, accessing login information and attempting to purchase streaming subscriptions using stored credit card details. The attack, known as credential stuffing, likely leveraged information from previous data breaches of third-party services. While sensitive information like social security numbers and full payment account numbers was not compromised, affected users are advised to reset their passwords and monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity. Roku is working to secure affected accounts and refund unauthorized purchases, while users are encouraged to check if their credentials have been exposed and update their passwords as a precaution.
