Roku Ruckus: Hackers Snag Thousands of Accounts and Go on a Subscription Spree!

Crack open your piggy banks, folks! Hackers scooped up 15,363 Roku accounts, shopping for streaming goodies with other people’s credit. At a steal of 50 cents per hacked account, it’s a Black Friday sale in Hacker Town. Roku’s advice? Password reset, pronto! #RokuBreachLaughs

Hot Take:

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade – but when hackers get your Roku account, they're marathoning 'Stranger Things' on your dime while selling your credentials for less than a Snickers bar. Roku's breach saga is more like a 'Black Mirror' episode, where the only thing streaming is your credit card details into the pockets of internet baddies. And, in a plot twist no one asked for, your Roku could be buying 'The Mandalorian' without your consent. It's time to check if your password is more '123456' than 'FortKnox$ecure' and maybe, just maybe, hit that reset button like it's the 'next episode' prompt.
