There's no indication from Roblox that user data has been accessed, which may only be known for certain as the investigation into the attack wraps up. We don't know if data has been grabbed outside of what's already been leaked. What can you do to keep your Roblox account safe? Whatever the reason for the attack origin, players will naturally enough be very concerned. In this scenario, there is no ransomware involvement. Motherboard mentions the cache being stolen from an employee. Of course, the extortion could spring from another source. This can be incredibly damaging for all concerned, especially as files are often published even when the ransom is paid.

The Roblox player base is young, and naturally enough worried about risks from cheats and account compromise. Hacks and compromise: from myth to reality Nobody knows if they've exhausted their newly-plundered treasure trove, or if more leaks will follow. An as-yet unknown attacker has breached an employee account, and is in the process of exposing the data they've collected. A data compromise situation has impacted Roblox Corporation, the developers of the massive smash-hit video game Roblox.
