With the number of Roku users now surpassing 51 million users, the platform has become an attractive target for scammers looking to take advantage of unsuspecting users. One of the more popular scams you should keep an eye out for involves a fraudulent activation page designed to steal sensitive personal information or solicit payment.
As Roku details on its website, hackers targeting Roku users have become more sophisticated in recent years and have even gone so far as to take out Google ads so that their fraudulent pages appear at the top of Google search pages. Additionally, these fake websites masquerading as official Roku pages have no qualms about using official Roku logos and even employing seemingly legitimate URLs like roku.activation and roku.link. Interestingly, the company notes that search queries for Roku support represent the most common attack vector used by scammers.
