"Roku Reports Over 570,000 Accounts Compromised in Data Breach"

Roku announced that nearly 576,000 accounts were affected by a data breach, following an earlier incident impacting 15,000 users. The unauthorized access was due to "credential stuffing," where hackers used stolen login credentials from another source. While some accounts were used to make unauthorized purchases, no sensitive payment information was compromised. Roku has reset passwords, enabled two-factor authentication for all accounts, and is refunding affected customers. They advise users to review their account information, use strong unique passwords, and remain vigilant against identity theft and fraud.
