Can’t wait till we find out that the arbitration agreement they forced on people was penned up shortly after they discovered the breach.
I think its already been shown that it was penned up shortly after they discovered the last breach.
So instead of giving people notice so they can change their information they decide to sit on it until they cover their asses. Typical.
Never buying a Roku product ever again. Their TVs used to be a good deal but I’ll play a premium for something else next time.

Fuck these companies. They all need to rot.
Hey, at least their research is focusing on serving you ads through HDMI instead of security, so even if you’re not using the Roku, you can still get their ads over HDMI.
You don’t need security if you’re a virus…
i believe that data breaches are so frequent, that we now have a dedicated community to post these.
Life is so much better after I gave up on these atrocious media boxes and TV operating systems and just use a small computer connected to the TV.
I control the interface, I control the connection, it works perfectly. Steam Link for games, Jellyfin for media - always working, never showing ads, never bothering me with accounts or updates.
I’ve been looking to do something like that.
I have a NAS running my JellyFin server in a container, i’d like to have the box/pc connected to my tv running something open source with the respective clients for my streaming services.
Kodi seems like it’s a hassle to get streaming apps working seamlessly.

You people never learn, do you? If youre not pirating, you’re at risk.
I’m thankful Roku has had data breaches. Mostly because I have a Roku TV that was somehow compromised and now, even after a couple of years and several full factory resets, whoever used my throwaway account signed up for all the streaming services at the highest tier. Hard to be mad when I havent had to pay for anything.
And no, before anyone says anything, it’s not putting my home network at risk, as it’s just the Roku account that’s compromised. Nothing tied to me personally, not even a card/address on the account, so I just chalk it up to “as long as it keeps working, Im not worrying about it”.
