US company Roku is forced to implement two-factor authentication after a large-scale hacking incident

Roku has been hit by hackers once again, compromising the data of 576,000 users. This is the second time in the last few weeks that users have faced a security risk on the video streaming platform.

Here's What We Know

The incident confirmed the use of logins that were stolen from other platforms and services to gain unauthorised access to Roku accounts. The attackers used this method to try to gain access to user accounts and their possible payment information.

In response to this threat, Roku is implementing two-factor authentication for all of its 80 million users.

The company assures that hackers have not been able to access sensitive data such as full credit card numbers. Roku is also taking steps to protect its users, including resetting passwords and refunds in cases of unauthorised purchases.
