September 11th, 2011



Ten years after the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, A hacker attack happened on the ROBLOX platform.

According to sources, the hacker got access with the admin panel through password guessing an admin's account. This account was called 'iceberg' The Games page consisted of only one game called '9/11', as well as the red maintenance banner. Every other game on that page had no thumbnail, and only had a corrupted name. Clicking on these corrupted games would give you an error, or refresh the page.

'9/11' Just consisted of the Twin Towers on a baseplate built with the stamper tool. When it was 5:14AM PDT, Two airplanes flew to the towers and crashed on them. Keep in mind, ROBLOX physics were not at all, 'sophisticated', so the airplanes were flying very slowly. The moment the airplanes crashed into the towers, The players saw 'You have lost connection to the game.' (now error code 277), and the website was down for maintenance.

ROBLOX was down for approximately 3 days. When the site got reopened, 2,996 accounts were terminated with an empty Moderator Note.

The bad thing is, that person is still on the loose, and the account was eventually password guessed again.
