Over 15,000 Roku customer accounts were breached in a recent data breach, likely due to customers using the same passwords for multiple accounts. Hackers gained access to the accounts through credential stuffing, using username and password combinations obtained from phishing schemes or data breaches. Once the hackers gained access, they changed the login information and attempted to purchase streaming subscriptions. To protect against this type of attack, users should stay vigilant against phishing scams and use unique and hard-to-guess passwords for each account. Password managers are recommended for safely storing and generating passwords.
