Did anyone hear of the Roku Hack
Did anyone get a message from Roku? I saw it on Tom's guide- nothing from Roku. it was all your information including cc, passwords. So disappointed. why cant these big companies figure out how to...

From what I’ve read, this hack was to get passwords from one place and then try them at other places. The underlying reason it works is because some people still use the same password at many places. If you’re not one of those, you should be safe from this one.
When I tried to log into the community today, my password did not work. I had to use the reset password feature to log in. Are they forcing everyone to change their password?
Probably no. Most likely your account triggered an automatic password reset due to maximum number of failed attempts. This is both a good thing and bad thing.
GOOD: It likely shows your account was not breached in the known published breach.
BAD: It means an email / password combination you have used likely at different site has been compromised.
You should make sure ALL your passwords are different for every site/app otherwise you are very vulnerable using the same password at many sites.
I was also forced to do a password reset this morning. Since I'm logged into the forum almost constantly (just needing to log in again every morning) I know there was nothing wrong with my password. Odds are they are pushing out a requirement to reset your password, although I would have expected an email about it.
I didn’t have any issue signing in, just my thumb
