So, people have been asking me what happened because I was online when everything happened. I've been trying to find the right way to say it, so here;
April 1st, 2012, ROBLOX was hacked. It all started out when the hacker unbanned people that were banned, like Minish. Minish and Merely got into an argument over money, and so as a result of the fighting, Minish bought Merely's domino crown, his favorite hat. This made Merely quit, and he gave 50k robux to nearly every person who posted on his thread. After this, the banner at the top started going crazy. It was saying weird things such as "You put the peanut butter in the potato and you mix it all up", "Roblox is always better than going outside!", and "Remember kids, trust anyone with your [Personal Account Information]" After this, over 20 limited hats were published. The Dominus Infernus was taken off as a limited. Also, The Trade Currency was rumored to have broke, no matter how much R$ you wanted to trade, you wouldn't get any Tix, and vice versa. Then, the user ROBLOX posted on a thread saying "Minish and Pheedy won" The post was [Content Deleted]. Then, there was a sticky by ROBLOX saying "It's all over guys", and the message saying "They deleted the moderation panel" And what was thought to be an April Fools joke went horribly wrong. ReeseMcBlox, Chro, and Pheedy were posting profane things, and they were also [Content Deleted]. Also, reports came in of banned users being unbanned and admins like Stickmasterluke being banned. After this, ROBLOX shutdown over night. Most of the things effected were repaired, but other features such as The Catalog, Currency Exchange/Trade Currency etc. were suspended for a while.
People ask me what I was thinking and what I did when it happened.
Honestly, I was scared. These weren't your everyday game Exploiters. These were some hardcore hackers, who could and would definitely do some damage. I kept getting messages saying "FREE BC" "FREE R$" I opened them and it said "Send me your account information and I'll give you FREE BC/FREE R$" And then when I looked at the name, the name was random, it was either filled with profane thingd, a bunch of random characters you normally can't use when choosing a username, or the user had already been Content Deleted. By this time I was freaking out, the site was running slow, the next thing I know, the game I was playing starts flashing random colors and starts raining body parts, and blood keeps appearing on my screen, I looked under character and it said [Content Deleted89587239] Or something like that with random numbers. Everyone in the server is on loopkill and the content deleted name starts changing, I just left. By then I knew it was serious, which is when the ROBLOX banner started changing. I looked at my stuff and it said I had thousands of messages and thousands of friend requests. I was even MOREE freaked out, so I decided to start changing my account information. The last thing I wanted to happen was my account to get hacked or something. I changed my information every 10 minutes, I didn't check messages, I didn't check friend requests, I didn't answer party requests, I disabled it all, and stayed on the same account options page, changing the information. I created a newbie account and started going around on ROBLOX on my other laptop, trying to figure out what was going on. Everything was screwed up, Administrators were posting profane things, something was weird with the catalog, it was complete chaos. I continued changing my information up until the game shut down completely overnight. I found out that peoples accounts were taken, and they were used for hacking games, and that all of them were banned.
So anyway, that's my experience. It was freaky, if they did all of that last April Fools, I'm afraid of what's gonna happen next April Fools. And if the hackers do come back, what is ROBLOX going to do to prevent this? |
