The streaming platform Roku has experienced a data breach, resulting in over 15,000 accounts being compromised. Roku, known for its 80 million active accounts, disclosed the breach in filings with the state attorney generals of Maine and California. The breach affected 15,363 accounts between December 28, 2023, and February 21, 2024.
The filings revealed that the breach was not due to a hacker infiltrating Roku's system but rather hackers gaining access to login data from external sources. A Roku spokesperson stated that the security team identified suspicious activity indicating unauthorized access to a limited number of accounts using login credentials obtained from third-party breaches unrelated to Roku.
