GoKawiilThe Ukrainian police have arrested three individuals who hacked more than 610,000 Roblox gaming accounts and sold them for a profit of $225,000.
The arrests were made by the police in Lviv after conducting ten searches on targeted locations, seizing $35,000 in cash, 37 mobile phones, 11 desktop computers, seven laptops, five tablets, and four USB drives.
Although the police did not specify the game platform targeted by the hackers, aged 19, 21, and 22, the Prosecutor General’s Office stated that it was Roblox.
“Prosecutors of the Lviv region, together with the cyber police and the Security Service of Ukraine, have stopped the activities of a group that gained access to other people's gaming accounts and used them as a source of income,” reads the press release from the Prosecutor General's Office.
“This concerns profiles in Roblox, where users create games, communicate, and purchase virtual items with in-game currency. For many, such accounts hold not only gaming value but also financial value due to accumulated resources and purchased items.”
