Credential Stuffing Breach Leaves Roku User's Accounts Accessible To Fraud


Bleeping Computers reported: "On Friday, Roku first disclosed the data breach, warning that 15,363 customer accounts were hacked in a credential stuffing attack.

A credential stuffing attack is when threat actors collect credentials exposed in data breaches and then attempt to use them to log in to other sites, in this case, Roku.com.

The company says that once an account was breached, it allowed threat actors to change the information on the account, including passwords, email addresses, and shipping addresses.

This effectively locked a user out of the account, allowing the threat actors to make purchases using stored credit card information without the legitimate account holder receiving order confirmation emails." Read the full article



Protect Your Roku Account and Personal Information


If you no longer use a Roku or subscribe to any paid channels on the platform, we recommend that you log to your Roku account and remove your payment information. You can do this by following these steps:

Step 1. Click on the link: https://my.roku.com/payment/account. This will take you to the Roku payment methods page.

Step 2. If you're not already logged in, you'll need to sign in with your Roku account credentials.

Step 3. Once you're logged in, you'll see your current payment methods listed. Remove your credit card or any other payment sources from this page.

By deleting your payment details, your personal information, including your name, home address, and credit card data, will no longer be connected to your Roku account. 
Although you won't be able to purchase streaming services directly from your Roku, you can still watch FREE Roku channels. To access paid channels like Max, Hulu, and Netflix, sign up on their respective websites and use your login credentials on your Roku device.
