Roku has reported a security breach affecting 15,363 streaming user accounts, where unauthorized individuals gained access to the accounts. The breach was disclosed in a filing with the Maine Attorney General's Office. The perpetrators of the data theft were attempting to sell the stolen account credentials for as little as $0.50 per account, enabling buyers to make illegal purchases using stored credit cards.
Roku took immediate action to secure the affected accounts by requiring registered users to reset their passwords. The company also investigated account activity to identify any unauthorized charges, cancel unauthorized subscriptions, and refund any unauthorized charges incurred by the hackers.
