Roku hacked and shortly after they made you sign to new terms.

This is just scummy what Roku did they made everyone of their users sign to a new terms and (so you can't sue them) and then shortly afterwards they get hacked very suspicious its almost like they suspected this was going to happen and instead of having some form of TFA they just covered their butts.

 

 

Over 15,000 hacked Roku accounts sold for 50¢ each to buy hardware

Suggest that they already knew.

 

Stay up to date on it and look for a Class Action.

Assuming what Roku has said about how the account info was obtained.....the Roku customer is to blame.

I have no reason to think Roku is being dishonest about that.

QUOTE:

On Friday, March 8, Roku sent out a notification to over 15,000 users to inform them about their accounts being breached by hackers.

Roku explained in the letter that the hackers likely obtained user data from other data breaches and used leaked username and password combinations to access Roku accounts. After gaining access to the Roku accounts, the hackers changed login details and, in some instances, tried to purchase streaming subscriptions with the stored credit card information.

 

I take the precaution of not allowing my browser to save login info and CC info on websites that I have used my CC on.

I have a ROKU device and am not concerned about my account being one that was compromised. Nor have I received

a notification from ROKU.

Well neither have I received an email from Roku but I changed my password all the same, just to be safe. And I also don't save my passwords in my browser I use a password manager namely KeepassXC.

The fact you haven't been notified is suspicious and is enough reason not to trust or use roku in my professional cyber security opinion.

I think Pkshadow has a point because it looks like Roku had knowledge ahead of time about this hack, and that's why they forced everyone to sign a agreement in order to use your Roku device.

There is no reason to think something suspicious about me not being notified. Roku said it

notified the 15,000 users whose login credentials were obtained and offered for sale.

I have no reason to doubt what Roku has said about how that info was obtained. It was not

obtained from their servers but from some other means due to users not properly protecting

their login info.

Sheesh why do web browsers still offer the option to store passwords when there are so times this is exploited. I mean they lack proper encryption.

Sorry but I disagree with your security assessment of the Roku Breach they are supposed to notify all users of their service regardless of whose login details were used. I've been informed by many companies that were part of a breach to change my credentials immediately to mitigate the impact of other accounts being used by unauthorized users of the service.

That's how smart and intelligent service providers operate.

My credentials have never been stolen off my browsers in the many years I've been using computers they have always been stolen via other means and methods not involving my home network.

Hmm I guess maybe Roku might be at fault after all.

I think Louis has a point here.
