About one month after it said about 15,000 customer accounts were hacked, Roku reports it has found another 576,000 subscriber accounts that have been compromised, a relatively small portion of its total 80 million active users. The company said hackers did not gain access to customer credit card numbers or other payment information, but in less than 400 accounts, “malicious actors” made unauthorized purchases of streaming services and Roku hardware products, for which Roku said it would issue refunds. Roku said it was not the source of the breach, instead hackers used login credentials from other online accounts where affected users may have used the same username and password, also known as “credential stuffing.”
