This alteration prevented account holders from receiving any confirmation emails regarding unauthorized purchases. In response, Roku immediately secured the compromised accounts and initiated a password reset for affected users while investigating the fraudulent transactions. The company's efforts successfully halted unauthorized subscription sign-ups and refunded all fraudulent charges. Roku has assured that no social security numbers or similarly sensitive data were compromised in the breach
