My feminine side wants to ask a question that many will consider ...stupid.

Is it possible to hack ROKU?

Don’t be mean in answering...if anyone wants to answer.

Roku the service or the Roku devices?

Roku the service, not likely. Roku is probably invested in security solutions to prevent attacks against their services.

Roku devices, absolutely, but like with any operating system, make sure you keep up on patching.

Roku devices are considered “Internet of Things (IOT),” and IOT is currently a favorite target of a lot of hackers.

I suppose it’s possible. Probably also possible to hack into a cable box.

I’ve been monitoring Roku for the last 3 years on my secure network.
Its far more secure than most of the other IOT systems out there.
It doesn’t phone home with viewing profiles or anything I can see going on.
Smart TV’s are the worst for security.
