Roku says over 15,000 accounts may have been accessed by bad actors in data breach incident


Bad actors may have illegally gotten into thousands of people’s Roku accounts, Roku recently told the offices of two state attorneys general.

The company suggested the bad actors got the login combinations "through data breaches of third-party services that are not related to Roku." "In response, we took immediate steps to secure these accounts and are notifying affected customers," a Roku spokesperson told FOX Business Tuesday. Roku’s total number of active accounts rose to 80 million in the fourth quarter.
