Roku says it has since \u201csecured the accounts from further unauthorized access\u201d by asking affected users to reset their passwords. It\u2019s also working to cancel and refund unauthorized purchases. Even if you weren\u2019t affected by this data breach, it still might be worth checking HaveIBeenPwned to see if any of your credentials have been exposed recently. It also couldn\u2019t hurt to change your Roku password.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Hackers likely obtained account information exposed in previous data breaches of third-party services, Roku says.
