According to Vice, a hacker who leaked 4GBs of data online appears to include information on some of Roblox Corporation's biggest games and creators, including identification documents, email addresses, and spreadsheets related to different individuals.

“Roblox has been actively investigating a phishing incident, which involved an employee being targeted by cybercriminals [through social engineering tactics/using highly personalized scare tactics],” the company stated. “These stolen documents were illegally obtained as part of an extortion scheme that we refused to cooperate with.''

“We acted quickly upon learning of the incident, engaged independent experts to complement our information security team, and have tuned our systems to seek to detect and prevent similar attempts.”

The company is valued at around $68 billion, and half of all children in the U.S. play, with 45.5 million daily active users in 2021. The platform lets creators make their games and virtual worlds, then implement microtransactions to monetize them.
