It’s the streaming service’s second security breach this year. Here’s what Roku is doing about it.
Roku is again in the spotlight for a data breach compromising user accounts. After reporting more than 15,000 compromised Roku accounts last month, the TV streaming service is disclosing a second breach, this time involving 576,000 more accounts. In about 400 of these accounts, attackers had made unauthorized purchases.
The discovery was made during an investigation into the recent security breach. Roku reports that the accounts were accessed using credential stuffing, a process in which attackers use credentials stolen in other breaches to access accounts on different platforms.
