Bad actors may have illegally gotten into thousands of people’s Roku accounts, Roku told the offices of two state attorneys general. In a data breach notification to the Office of the Maine Attorney General, the video streaming company estimated the number of accounts affected by the breach at over 15,300. It let those customers know about the situation on Friday via a letter.
Roku’s total number of active accounts rose to 80 million in the fourth quarter. Those accounts accumulated 29.1 billion hours of streaming in the three-month period and contributed to the 106 billion hours watched by Roku accounts over the course of the entire year, according to the company.
