Bad actors entered more than half a million Roku accounts without permission in another cyber incident. The video streaming company said Friday the latest " credential stuffing " attack of 576,000 accounts came to light in the midst of its efforts to "monitor account activity closely." Those had been prompted by a prior breach. The first incident saw bad actors illegally getting into 15,300 accounts through that tactic. Roku let those users know about that incident in March.
Sensitive personal data and full payment information did not get exposed in either incident, according to the company. "There is no indication that Roku was the source of the account credentials used in these attacks or that Roku’s systems were compromised in either incident," the company said Friday.
It is "implementing a number of controls and countermeasures to detect and deter future credential stuffing incidents." Those efforts included password resets for impacted users and two-factor authentication for every customer that uses its service, according to Roku. The pair of breaches hit a "small fraction" of its total users, it said. In the fourth quarter, it reported 80 million active accounts collectively responsible for 29.1 billion streaming hours.
In January, an Allianz Commercial report identified cyber incidents as 2024’s "top business risk." Of the over 3,000 customer businesses, industry trade organizations risk management professionals and others that participated in the survey, over one-third said cyber incidents of various kinds were the risk weighing on them the most.
