Children's computer game Roblox employee bribed by hacker for access to millions of users' data

A hacker who bribed a worker for the online video game Roblox managed to gain access to the personal information of over 100 million active users, the ability to change passwords and email addresses, and allocate in-game currency. The hacker first paid an employee to look up data about users, and then targeted a customer support representative. They said they did it to "prove a point" to the company. Speaking to Motherboard under the condition of anonymity, the hacker could also change security settings, enact bans, and steal items from other users. Roblox is a free-to-play game that "lets you play, create, and be anything you can imagine," according to its description on the Microsoft Store.
