ROBLOX Is No Longer Safe
(Please note: all dates are going to be headings once this pasta is finished)

Tuesday, January 16th, 2021.

It is very easy to forget how privileged you are to have your personal life hidden away from the general public. Especially online, where any sicko could use your information for malicious purposes. I am sad to say ROBLOX has eradicated this feature. To understand, I’ll explain what happened a month ago with a group of people.

It was January 16th of this year, and a group of people were planning on attacking the net and ROBLOX due to recent policy changes.I have provided a chat log below for reference. Zackary10134: Article 96 #####. It’s basically Article 13 but worse...

blobgoose: Yeah I agree. But you know what ##### more? ROBLOX’s newest revision to their ###### site.

Kenthe_animal678: What’s that?

blobgoose: To shorten what they said, they basically said everyone who joined before 2014 will be terminated because it’ll somehow “eliminate” hackers and exploiters.

Zackary10134: That makes no sense!

blobgoose: Yeah, I thought so too. So did 17 other people on r/ROBLOX.

Kenthe_animal678: Well is there anything we can do about it? I don’t want innocents purged from the site...

blobgoose: We can show both Article 96 >AND< ROBLOX who’s in power. The users, not them.

Ken_theanimal678: Ain’t that illegal though?

blobgoose: Sure it is, but other, more peaceful approaches haven’t worked in the past.

Zackary10134: Sorry for going AFK without notice. Anyway, what are you two talking about?

Ken_theanimal678: blobgoose told me he would retaliate against ROBLOX and the net because ROBLOX’s newest revision is unorthodox, and the recent Article 96 is also unorthodox.

Ken_theanimal678: told me we would *

Zackary10134: You all want to do this, right?

blobgoose: What do we have to lose? I can spend a few years in the slammer anyways.

Ken_theanimal678: Right. The group would later fail to do anything about Article 96 (a policy which restricts 90% of activity on the internet). However, they were able to do something - actually, more than just something - about ROBLOX’s most recent site revision. They were actually very talented hackers who had previous experience. However they weren’t known for any previous hacks as they never identified themselves as a group.

They had found a way to undo ROBLOX’s privacy encryption systems, which they were impressed with themselves. It took them about 1 month to figure this out, and here we are now. February 16th. The day all of my and everyone else’s data gets leaked. Great.

SIDE NOTE: I won’t reveal my actual name, but I prefer the name “Gerald”, which in itself is also a nickname

SIDE NOTE 2: If you want a more detailed version of the mentioned site revision, it’s down below. You can scroll past this part.

ROBLOX User Date of Creation Purge, Effective Soon
(will be a sub-heading <---)

Starting on January 16th, 2021, we are purging user accounts made before 2014. This is to ensure our users are having exploiter/hacker free play sessions on our website. This purge is final and cannot be revised. Our CEO discussed this with the ROBLOX Staff and we have come to the conclusion that this purge will effect the site in a positive manner.

What this means for you...

If your account was made before 2014, you should save any assets you wish to keep. For example, with shirts you may save the shirt image files to preserve them for another account we are allowing users involved in the purge to create. If you have any further questions involving your account you should contact us at support@roblox.com.

Billing and Related Info

If you have a BC (Builder’s Club) membership on an account made before 2014, you can refund your purchase right now (January 5th, 2021) up to January 15th, 2021, a day before the purge takes effect. Other purchases, such as ROBUX, can be transferred to another account by contacting Customer Service here.

For Developers Who Made Games Prior to 2014

Please tell us the new account related to your account with your place on it. While we cannot restore your places, we can still have funds flow into your account as if the game was still up. Please note that only one account can have another account’s name linked to it.

Edit: This flow of funds is based off of statistics of your game’s earnings before the week of the purge date.

Please leave your feedback on the Developer Forums for inquiries about this system only. For other feedback please email us (support@roblox.com).

....

Today was a fucking disaster. My friend Vanessa was one of many who have had their information distributed on the internet in the past two days. I called my her to see if she was okay, but all I got was this. Me: (Gerald) Hello? You okay Vanes? (stupid nickname I came up with for her)

Vanessa’s phone: (answering machine message) I found this especially unusual since Vanessa usually picked up at the time I placed the call. Maybe she forgot to text me about some event in town she was going to? I don’t know, I just hope nothing bad happened to her. I decided to play ROBLOX to see if any updates on the data leak had came, just to take my mind off of the call. However, when the site loaded it appeared the site had been converter to a type of data archive site.

The site was barren of any style that the normal site had. Now it was just plain, bland text that resembled a site from the 90s. The ROBLOX we once knew was now a site full of hyperlinks that link to user data. I was morbidly curious for some reason. I clicked on one of the links that led to more links. The way it worked was that the links were grouped with usernames that go from the numbers 0 - 9. I clicked on a link about a user named “999NinetySix”

Why did I click on the link? Why did I purposely subject myself to such imagery? I can’t answer these questions no matter how long I think about it. The link contained pictures of this dude naked, pictures of his family, pictures of his friends, and all the accounts he’s ever had on the internet - ever. I wanted to hurl over from the amount of detailed information that was on the site.

I need to lay down after seeing that. No fucking way am I continuing to look at this shit. I’ll write more soon.

Wednesday, February 24th, 2021.

I still haven’t heard back from Vanessa yet. Her parents are still out of town but her grandmother is still home. I’ll contact her grandma if I don’t hear from her in a couple more days.

Holy shit guys.

I’m writing this about 5 hours later and I just entered Vanessa’s house for the first time in weeks. I entered her house and the whole placed look like it was ransacked by some maniac. I looked around for any clues of Vanessa’s wareabouts, but to no prevail. I then sniffed the air. Something smelled... rotten. Dead.

I walked around to try to locate the foul stench. I did this for about 3 minutes and found that the stench was strongest next to Vanessa’s room. I opened the door and...

There she was. It was Vanessa, dead. She was slumped over on her bed, lying in dried blood. Where was her grandmother? Surely she would’ve protected her again whoever... KILLED her?! I was mad and sad at the same time. I scanned the entire house again and while I was in the kitchen I smelled another stench. Exactly like Vanessa’s.

My assumptions I had made in my mind were correct. Vanessa’s grandmother is dead as well. I suppose someone who got a hold of Vanessa’s info used it against her. What kind of background would such a man- or monster - need to be driven to murdering a young teen? A better question would be why I ask myself impossible to answer questions!

I dialed Vanessa’s mother, who had no idea what had happened so far. I hesitated dialing her number but I really had no other choices other than to call her and the police.

Me: (Again, Gerald) Hello? I have some bad new-

Vanessa’s mother: (cutting me off) About what?

Me: Your daughter’s grandmother - and your daughter herself - has died.

Time seemed to stop in that very moment. The wave of realization hit her so hard that in the first few seconds of me telling her this, she could speak no words. Vanessa’s mother: D-Dead?! No, you’re joking right?! I mean, she was perfectly health-

Me: I-I wouldn’t joke around with something like that. I honestly could barely listen to the rest. Vanessa’s mother was weeping to the point she had to catch her breath between the occasional “Why?”. After she stopped weeping I explained to her how I discovered the bodies of both grandma and Vanessa. Vanessa’s mother: Have you called the fucking police?!

Me: Er, no. Mainly because I wanted to break it to you first.

Vanessa’s mother: Get off this call so you can dial the law. I won’t stand for this. So I did what I was planning to do and called the law. They told me that I was now involved because I was the one who discovered the body. I said okay and everything went smoothly from there. The evidence was collected and crime scene tape was seen soon after. We’ll see where this investigation goes.
