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...

So Roku's recent data breach of over 15,000 users with their credit card information stored on Roku was compromised - therefore, there is indeed a "risk" which you so casually cast aside. If Roku requires CC information, at least require 2 factor authentication for increased security but guess what? There is no 2FA available and nothing indicates that there will be any 2 FA in the near future.
As far as I can tell from reading various articles (some of which are sensationalism at its worst), credit card information wasn't actually stolen. People signed into accounts using a username and password the user used elsewhere (very, very bad practice) and then ordered subscriptions and Roku products. They didn't actually get any credit card number. If anyone has different information or more details I'd like to hear it.
I don't consider this a hack of Roku's system - just ignorant users getting burned. And 15 thousand out of millions upon millions of accounts is hardly a "massive breach". 🙄
Today Mar 14 in Yahoo web and android cell phone google web it show that Roku web was hacked by 50,000 account only out of millions and for sale at a site for .50 cents per account.
Luckily that I did not use my credit card but only antenna live Roku and Roku 3 player is still working well.
Roku did not ask holder/s to change password or any sort of precautions ... they leave it as is...

I was forced to change my password yesterday. My account didn't appear to have been breeched, and I don't have a CC stored with them either. But I could not log in with my existing password and had to do a reset. So Roku did do something about it.
