I am sure that plenty of people here have suffered an attack from a hacker. Or trembles in fear at the threat of having their account hacked. I am here to inform you about how to defend yourself, as well as tell you when you have reason to worry and when somebody is just messing with you.

First, some tips for protecting yourself constantly.

1. Keep your firewall on full alert. Windows comes with a firewall that isn't the best, but it does it's job. But only when you tell it to. If you turn it off. Or allow everything. Your just welcoming the hackers into your computer. When you get an unblock/continue blocking message, make shure you know what the program is, and that you know what it is trying to do. Don't unblock unknown programs.

2. Get some antivirus software. Don't think that you can't afford antivirus software. I use a free antivirus software that works better than some expensive stuff. I cannot advertise here so if you want to know where to find it, PM me. Antivirus software can also detect other malware, such as unregistered Keyloggers( a hackers most powerful account-stealing tool ), and spyware.

3. Change your password regularly. Hackers aren't guessing your password so it doesn't matter how wierd it is. Actually, the more random looking it is, the easier it is to find in a keylogger report. The best kind of password is one that would make sense in a sentence after your username. i.e. u:Antigroup p:loves Roblox. ( don't even try. Thats not my password. ) You should change your password every few weeks. Or at least each month. And keep a file somewhere with your password. But don't name it password.

Some truth about hacking:

Ok Im sure some people have threatened that they are hacking you right now. Something like "Im tracking your ip and im gonna delete everything on your computer you noob." Well although that might scare you. More than likely, they are just bluffing and are more of a noob than you. They may not even know the first thing about hacking, or even what I.P. stands for. Don't be afraid of their internet terrorism. If you just run away then they have won. My advice is to report them. (dont tell them, if they aren't bluffing about their skills they will just be angry and bother you more ) Report them and then kindly ask them to go away( if they are on a game ). If they don't, you just leave. If they send you a threatening message, report them on there. The moderators should take care of them.

Hackers can't:
Find your I.P. directly. ROBLOX is a client/server based online system, not peer to peer. That means that they would have to hack roblox, then find your ip as it it registered within the ROBLOX system, which, is also well protected, and will probably gain some protection due to more and more hacking problems.

Destroy your computer through roblox. There are ways to delete everything. But anyone in their right mind wouldn't dare. The FBI would be on their case faster than they could log out. Internet security is advancing and viruses and other malware are becoming less threatening. Only a skilled programer could make a virus capable of doing that kind of thing, it is even more to do it undetected. And a basic firewall will prevent them from doing much even if they do have your I.P. .

Hackers can:

Get your password. Most people know this. And anybody can get keylogging software online for cheap or free. But most of it isn't lightweight. It is pretty difficult to install it on your computer. A skilled programmer can make their own but it would most likely be detected soon, or if you are careful, their attempt will fail. Plus they would have trouble targeting you directly unless they email you a trojan type keylogger. Or manage to pass through your firewall. That would take far more work and I doubt that many people who play ROBLOX seriously would even bother. But beware of suspicious emails. And don't download everything you see unless you are sure of it's source.

Keyloggers are the biggest threat to your account. The only other thing is if a hacker does hack the ROBLOX servers, they could theoretically download the account database. But by now that thing is huge. And protected by SQL server's security measures.

I hope that many people benefit from this. And you should all be busy changing your password and updating your firewall and antivirus software right now.
